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'll soon see again Go to sleep and wake up to a brand new scene Then suddenly, Rockefeller's covered in the lights Families are playing on the ice From Harlem to the Battery, every corner's bustling Suddenly, it's Christmas in New York Rockettes are warming up their kicks Radio City's sold out of all of their tickets The windows on Fifth Avenue are dressed to band, they're telling you Suddenly, it's Christmas in New York 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 Oh, Sunderland is ready to debut But Macy's is so packed you can't get through The kids are lined up everywhere, spilling out into the square Suddenly, it's Christmas in New York Taxi! Take me straight to Central Park Isn't the city beautiful? Oh, my God! 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? As the choirs do their caroling The St. Paddy's Nativity is something everyone should see It even makes the Grinch believe Central Park looks beautiful and white Cuddled up beneath the blanket, taking in the sights The city is all red and green, wrapped up like a gift for me Finally, it's Christmas in New York I know there's nothing better We should all have Christmas in New York
