Glad Tidings

And they'll lay you down low and easy

And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas

And the miles that you traveled the distance

So believe no lies

Dry your eyes

And realize

By surprise

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

And the business will shake hands and talk in numbers

And the princess will wake up from her slumber

And all the knights will step forth with their arm bands

And every stranger you meet in the street will make demands

So believe no lies

And dry your eyes

And realize

By surprise

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

And we'll send you glad tidings from New York

Open up your eyes so you may see

Ask you not to read between the lines

Hope that you will come right in on time, oh

And they'll talk to you while you're in trances

And you'll visualize not taking any chances

But meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion

And expect them to rise for the occasion

Don't it gratify

When you see it materialize

Right in front of your eyes

By surprise

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

And we'll send you glad tidings from New York

Open up your eyes so you may see

Ask you not to read between the lines

Hope that you will come right in on time, whoa

And they'll lay you down low and easy
