Lyrics and translation
Original
This time
This time
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas is so fine
Iit's ours this time
And won't the children be surprised?
It's ours this time
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Time to give them something fun
They'll talk about for years to come
Let's have a cheer from everyone
It's time to party
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice
With spider legs and pretty bows
It's ours this time
All together, that and this
With all our tricks
We're making Christmastime
Here comes jack
I don't believe what's happening to me
My hopes, my dreams, my fantasy
Won't they be impressed, I am a genius?
See how I transformed this old rat
Into a most delightful hat
Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On this, your most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat, huh!
No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up
All together, that and this
With all our tricks
We're making Christmastime
This time, this time (it's ours!)
Making Christmas
Making Christmas, la, la, la
It's almost here and we can't wait
So ring the bells and celebrate
'Cause when the full moon starts to climb
We'll all sing out, "It's Christmastime"
