[F#/B] There's a Christmas party at the home of [Bmaj7]Farmer Gray
It'll [F#/B]be the perfect ending of a [Bmaj7]perfect day
We'll be [D9]singing the songs we [C#m7]love to sing with [B/D#]out a [D#7]single [G#m]stop
At the [D#]fireplace while we [Fm7]watch the [A#7]chestnuts [D#]pop
[F#]Pop, [B/D#]pop [F#]pop
There's a [F#/B]happy feeling nothing in the [Bmaj7]world can buy
As they [F#/B]pass around the coffee and the [Bmaj7]pumpkin pie
It'll [D9]nearly be like a [C#m7]picture print by [B/D#]Currier [D#7] and Ives[Cmaj9/D]
[E/F#] These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
