Christmas | New Christmas

Ah Magnolia trees at night Sparkling bright Fields of cotton look wintery white When it's Christmas time In New Orleans A barefoot choir in prayer Fills the air Mississippi folks Are gathering there When it's Christmas time In New Orleans You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus Leading the band To a good old Creole beat And golly what a spirit You can only hear it Down on Basin Street Your cares will disappear When you hear Hallelujah St. Nicholas is here When it's Christmas time In New Orleans Ah, you'll see A dixieland Santa Claus Leading the band To a good old Creole beat And golly what a spirit You can only hear it Down on Basin Street Your cares will disappear When you hear Hallelujah old St. Nicholas is here When it's Christmas time In New Orleans When it's Christmas time in It's Christmas time in Heey, feel so good in New Orleans With this Christmas time in New Orleans

Thanksgiving day's been put away And the final leaves have floated to the ground But landing on a bed of snow feels warm somehow We've said goodbye to all the friends and family we soon see again Go to sleep and wake up to the brand new scene Then suddenly Rockefeller's covered in the lights Families are playing on the ice From Harlem to the Battery (Ooh-ooh) Every corner's bustling Suddenly it's Christmas in New York Croquettes are warming up their kicks (Bum-bum-ba-la-la-la) Radio City sold out all of their tickets The windows on Fifth Avenue Are dressed up and they're telling you (Ooh) Suddenly it's Christmas in New York Find me on Broadway or at the ballet (Ooh) And I'm five years old again (Ooh) Making my wish list, but all I wish is (Ooh-ooh) For another Christmas in New York Oh, Santaland is ready to debut (Ooh) When Macy's is so packed, you can't get through (Ah) The kids are lined up everywhere, spilling out into the square (Ah) Suddenly it's Christmas in New York Taxi Take me straight to Central Park You've got it, lady Welcome to the Empire State building Rockefeller Center Oh my God Isn't the city beautiful? This way, ma'am Find me on Broadway or at the ballet And I'm five years old again Making my wish list, but all I wish is For another Christmas in New York Can you hear the church bells ring-a-ling? (Ring, ring, dong, ring) As the choirs do their caroling (Here we go caroling) The Saint Patties activity is something everyone should see (Ah, ah) It even makes the Grinch believe Central Park looks beautiful in white (Central Park looks beautiful in white) Cuddled up and meet the blanket, taking in the sides (Ah) The city is all red and green, wrapped up like a gift for me (Ah) Finally, it's Christmas in New York No, there's nothing that We should all have Christmas in New York
