[Verse 1]
You can buy a present any day of the week
But I bet you won't set it underneath the tree
And even if you did, it'd be a little weird
'Cause Christmas only happens once a year

[Verse 2]
You can throw a party at your house whenever you'd like
Invite all your friends and have a good ol' time
But that solo cup of Jack won't be your cup of cheer
'Cause Christmas only happens once a year

[Chorus]
When the snow starts falling (When the snow starts to fall)
And there's lights everywhere (And therе's lights everywherе)
I don't know how it happens, but there's magic in the air
So hang all the stockings
And drink the hot chocolate before it disappears
'Cause Christmas only happens once a year

[Verse 3]
You can hang some mistletoe in the middle of July
But there won't be sleigh bells ringing, people singing "Silent Night"
So baby, come over and kiss me while it's still here
'Cause Christmas only happens once a year
[Chorus]
When the snow starts falling (When the snow starts to fall)
And there's lights everywhere (And there's lights everywhere)
I don't know how it happens, but there's magic in the air
So hang all the stockings
And drink the hot chocolate before it disappears
'Cause Christmas only happens once a year

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
When the snow starts falling
And there's lights everywhere
I don't know how it happens, but there's magic in the air
So hang all the stockings
And drink the hot chocolate before it disappears
'Cause Christmas only happens once a year

[Outro]
Christmas only happens once a year
