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
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 it's Christmas in New York
"Taxi! Take me straight to Central Park"
"You've got it, lady"
"Isn't this city beautiful?"
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
Can you hear the church bells ring-a-ling
As the choirs do their caroling?
The Saint Paddy's nativity
Is something everyone should see
It even makes the Grinch believe
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!
