"What's That Sound" lyrics - JD MCPHERSON

What's that sound at the door I hear?
I heard that same pretty sound last year
Neighbors are caroling around the town
Trying to spread a little bit of joy around
I hear that sound, it makes me feel so fine
Sounds a little bit like Christmas time

What's that sound in the street I hear?
I heard that same mighty sound last year
Parade drummers marching out two-by-two
Rocking out the holiday boogaloo
What's that sound?
It sounds like Christmas time

[Chorus:]
If you listen closely now, you'll hear it in the air
That's the sound of Christmas cheer I hear it everywhere

What's that sound in the town I hear?
I heard that same busy sound last year
Shoppers are hoppin' and humming a tune
Happy Holidays! and How do you do?
What's that sound?
It sounds like Christmas time

[Chorus:]
If you listen closely now, you'll hear it in the air
That's the sound of Christmas cheer I hear it everywhere

What's that sound on the roof I hear?
I heard that same pitter-pat last year
Jingling bells and big black boots
A rattling chimney and thirty-two hooves
I hear that sound and I feel so fine
Sounds a little bit like Christmas time

What's that sound down the road I hear?
I heard that same ringing bell last year
Ringing that thing like he's leading a band
Trying to give a neighbor a helping hand
What's that sound?
It sounds like Christmas time
What's that sound?
It sounds like Christmas time
What's that sound?
It sounds like Christmas time
