Thanksgiving day's been put away

And the final leaves have floated to the ground

But landing on a bed of snow feels warm somehow

We've said goodbye to all the friends

And family we'll soon see again

Go to sleep and wake up to a brand new scene

Then suddenly...

Rockefeller's covered in the lights

Families are playing on the ice

From harlem to the battery

Every corner's bustling

Suddenly it's christmas in new york.

Rockettes are warming up their kicks (bum-bum-ba-da-da-da)

Radio city sold out of all of their tickets

The windows on fifth avenue

Are dressed up and they're telling you

Suddenly it's christmas in new york.

Find me on broadway or at the ballet

And I'm five years old again

Making my wish list, but all I wish is

For another christmas in new york, oh...

Santaland is ready to debut

But macy's is so packed you can't get through

The kids are lined up everywhere

Spilling out into the square

Suddenly its christmas in new york.

(Taxi!

Take me straight to central park

You've got it, lady

Welcome to the empire state building

Rockefeller center

Oh my god

Isn't the city beautiful?

This way, ma'am)

Find me on broadway or at the ballet

And I'm five years old again

Making my wish list, but all I wish is

For another christmas in new york, oh...

Can you hear the church bells ring-a-ling (ring, ring, dong, ring)

As the choirs do their caroling? (here we go caroling)

The saint patty's nativity

Is something everyone should see

It even makes the grinch believe.

Central park looks beautiful in white (central park looks beautiful in white)

Cuddled up beneath a blanket taking in the sights

The city is all red and green

Wrapped up like a gift for me

Finally it's christmas in new york.

No there's nothing better

We should all have christmas in new york!
