(And here's why there's a Christmas Day.) When I was but a youngster Christmas meant one thing That I'd be getting lots of toys that day I learned a whole lot different when mother set me down And taught me to spell Christmas this way. C is for the Christ Child born upon that day H's for Herald Angels in the night R means our redeemer I means Israel S is for the stars that shone so bright. T is for three wise men they who travelled far M's for the manger where he lay A's for all he stands for S means shepherds came And that's why there's a Christmas Day. --- Instrumental --- T is for three wise men they who travelled far M's for the manger where he lay A's for all he stands for S means shepherds came And that's why there's a Christmas Day...
