I WOULDN'T TRADE CHRISTMAS
(Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen)
Frank, Nancy & Tina Sinatra - 1964


I wouldn't trade Christmas, no no, never would I,
Wouldn't trade Christmas, I love you the best,
I wouldn't trade Christmas, no no, never would I,
Wouldn't trade Christmas, I love you the best.
It's time for the hollys of fun, and the folly or all of that jolly 
jazz,
The people are glowing, the sand is now howing, each window 
is showing it has
All the latest in choicing, the daddy invoicing and all that razzle 
that does,
But I wouldn't trade Christmas, wouldn't trade Christmas for 
New Year's Day,
Thanksgiving, Holloween and the rest. Christmas we love you 
the best.
I wouldn't trade, no, no. never would I, wouldn't trade 
Christmas, I love you the best.
The traffic gets poky, the turkey gets smoky, and all of that 
holy stuff,
The people are shopping for things they'll be swapping like 
filigree boxes of snuff,
Though you pour the hot toddy, to force everybody, though 
half of the toddy's enough,
I wouldn't trade Christmas, wouldn't trade Christmas for 
Father's Day or Mother's,
Valentine, and the rest, Christmas we love you the best.
The jingle fell jingle you feel the old tingle, you buy the first 
single scene.
The idea is clever but subways will never quite handle that 
huge evergreen.
And the old office party, with Stanley and Molly keep drinking 
until they turn green.
But I wouldn't trade Christmas, wouldn't trade Christmas for 
Labor Day, or Easter, Washington and the
rest, Christmas we love you the best.
