10.I Wouldn't Trade Christmas
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn

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.
