The streets are filled with Christmas cheer
  At least it's only once a year
  Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows
  And carols ringing in my ear
  
  Bundled up against the cold
  Lines wherever gifts are sold
  Neat shop window displays a Christmas scene
  For everybody young and old
  
  Icicles on eavesdrops and tinsel on the tree
  But it's a green Christmas for me
  
  Couples skating on the pond
  Making angels on the lawn
  Five red mittens drying on the rack
  And needles shedding tannenbom
  
  Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground
  But it's a green Christmas in this town
  
  Green, cause of everything I miss
  All this mistletoe, no kiss
  And with every Christmas wish
  There would be no greater gift
  Than to have this envy lifted
  
  Carolers are at my door
  Don't wanna hear them anymore
  Stockings on the mantle
  The snow's here everyday
  But it's a green Christmas anyway
  
  Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree
  But it's a green Christmas for me
