Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
While the merry bells keep ringing,
May your every wish come true.
Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you.

If you're burdened down with troubles,
If your nerves are wearin' thin,
Pack your load,
Down the road,
Come to Holiday Inn!

If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin,
Kick your cares
Down the stairs,
Come to Holiday Inn!

If you can't find someone who will
Set your heart awhirl,
Take your car and motor to
The home of boy meets girl!

If you're laid up with a breakdown,
Throw away your vitamins!
Don't get worse,
Grab your nurse
And come to Holiday Inn!

Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
While the merry bells keep ringin',
May your every wish come true.
Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
May the calendar keep bringin'
Happy holidays to you.

Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
While the merry bells keep ringing,
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you.

Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
While the merry bells keep ringing,
May your every wish come true

Seeing old friends, Oh the fun of it all,
At holiday time, holiday time.
Presents and goodies and everything fine,
At holiday time, holiday time.

Happy holiday!
Oh happy holiday!
While the merry bells keep ringing,
May your every wish come true.
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you.
Merry Christmas!
Happy holiday!
Happy holiday!
