Lyrics

The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus, of course you know
He's one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all
Our hearts are light, our spirits bright
We'll celebrate our joy tonight
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
We'll decorate the Christmas tree
When all the family's here
Around the roarin' fire
We'll raise a cup of cheer
There's gifts to bring and songs to sing
And laughs to make the rafters ring
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
