So you can keep your reindeer
And you can keep your penguins
And I will take the Advent
And I will take the Manger
And you can keep your Santa
And you can keep your snowmen
And I will take the Shepherds
Worshipping the King
The Christmas Carols
That I want most to sing
Will be the Angels Heralding
The birth of my King (repeat)[short recording ends here]
There's silver tinsel hanging
From every bright street corner
And garland on the street lamps
As I head out on the town
But though I see the ribbons
And colored lights on houses
There's more to "Merry Christmas"
Than "Happy Holidays" to me
The Christmas Carols
That I want most to sing
Will be the Angels Heralding
The birth of my King (repeat)
And though I love the chocolate
In a cup of steaming cocoa
Vanilla cookies baking
And candles in the window
There's brightly wrapped presents
Beneath my Christmas tree
And children squeal with delight
As they sit on Santa's knee
The Christmas Carols
That I want most to sing
Will be the Angels Heralding
The birth of my King (repeat)(repeat the opening verse)
So you can keep your reindeer
And you can keep your penguins
And I will take the Advent
And I will take the MangerAnd you can keep your Santa
And you can keep your snowmen
And I will take the Shepherds
Worshipping the KingThe Christmas Carols
That I want most to sing
Will be the Angels Heralding
The birth of my King (repeat)
