Lyrics
VERSE
(Men) Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells
Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells
Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells
(Women) Jingle in the city
It’s Christmas time,
the city lights are bright,
And everyone’s out tonight.
It’s holiday
(All) time in New York City.
Shoppers hurry, scurry,
Rushing on their way.
So much to do all before that big day!
(BGVs) Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells.
Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells.
Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells.
(Tenors) Christmas in the city,
lights are bright.
Ev’ryone is out tonight.
(All) Christmas in the city.
(Sopranos sing original women’s part, tenors sing their part,
and altos and basses sing the BGV part)
(All) Time in New York City!
Jing, jing, jingle bells, jing, jingle.
Jing, jing, jingle bells, jing jingle.
Doll for Bonnie, Car for Johnnie,
List gets taller, wallet smaller.
Bake those cookies for the snookies,
Christmas season is the reason.
Extra! Extra! Two days left ‘til Christmas!
Jingle, jangle, Christmas in New York!
Jing, jing, jingle bells, jing, jingle.
Jing, jing, jingle bells, jing jingle.
(Men) Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
(Solo) Ev’rybody move, you’re in my way!
(Men) ‘Tis the season to be jolly,
(Solo) Some of you’se should just stay home today!
(All) Don we now our Christmas sweaters,
(Solo) No one will tell you how dumb they look!
(Men) Oh, I really hate this weather.
(Soprano Solo) Full of love and joy
(Solo) Dad, I want this toy!
(All) Ev’rybody loves this Christmas day!
(Sopranos sing original women’s part, tenors sing their part,
and altos and basses sing the BGV part)
(All) Time in New York City!
Time in New York City!
(Men) Ev’ryone is out tonight,
(add Altos) Jing, jing, jing, jingle, jingle bells (repeat)
(add Sopranos) The city lights are bright,
and ev’ryone’s out tonight.
(Men split: Tenors – Ev’ryone is out tonight (repeat)
Basses – Jing, jing, jing, jingle bells (repeat))
It’s holiday…
(All) Time in New York City!
