Have yourself a merry little Christmas, 
Let your heart be light 
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight 

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, 
Make the Yule-tide [bad word]  
Next year all our troubles will be miles away. 

Once again, as in olden days, 
Happy golden days of yore. 
Faithful friends who are dear to us 
 will be near to us once more. 

Someday soon we all will be together, 
If the Fates allow 
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow 
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
