"Holly, Carol, Candy & Joy"
(Ray Jacildo / JD McPherson)

Holly
She really makes the season jolly
Decked divinely head-to-toe
Lovely green and scarlet bows
Holdin' me, oh my, oh golly

[Chorus:]
Oh when the snow starts a-fallin' and it covers up the town
It's such a cozy fire when that Holly hangs around
What a lucky, lucky boy
A holiday with Holly, Carol, Candy, and Joy

Candy
Sweeter than a sip of brandy
Peppermint and buttered rum
Tempting as a sugar plum
Cooler than a summer shandy

[Chorus:]
Oh when the snow starts a-fallin' and I crave a sugar fix
She's so confectionary, Candy's always in the mix
What a lucky, lucky boy
A holiday with Holly, Carol, Candy, and Joy

Carol
Such a very merry girl
A lovely song upon her lips
Tempo rises and it dips
Dolled up in her gay apparel

[Chorus:]
Oh when the snow starts a-fallin' and the nights are so long
Carols sends me when she's singin' all those old-fashioned songs
What a lucky, lucky boy
A holiday with Holly, Carol, Candy, and Joy

Joy
Bright and sunny if it's snowy
When there's a frown upon my face
Detective Joy is on the case
Shinin' like a brand new toy

[Chorus:]
Oh when the snow starts a-fallin' in that chilly time of year
Joy is overflowing with a heap of Christmas cheer
What a lucky, lucky boy
A holiday with Holly, Carol, Candy, and Joy
