Chorus
So [A]make yourself [D]jolly under [G]mistletoe, [A]holly and ivy.
Get [D]to it - and be in good [A]cheer.
And when it's all [D]over: [G]pigs gone in [A]clover -
Will the [C]last man at the [G]party wish me a [D]happy New Year?


Intro 3


Verse 3
The house is jumping suppers up
Curried goat in a paper cup.

Forks of plastic knives of tin
Who cares what state the goat is in?

Someone with the gift of song has brought
Has brought his pal to sing along
Now they're turning up old Frank Sinatra on the stereo.
