Lyrics: Danny Elfman. Making Christmas.

This time, this time, making Christmas
Making Christmas, making Christmas
Making Christmas is so fine, it's ours this time

And won't the children be surprised?
It's ours this time, making Christmas
Making Christmas, making Christmas

Time to give them something fun
They'll talk about for years to come
Let's have a cheer from everyone

It's time to party
Making Christmas, making Christmas

Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice
With spider legs and pretty bows

It's ours this time, all together, that and this
With all our tricks we're making Christmas time

Here comes jack, I don't believe
What's happening to me?
My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies

Won't they be impressed? I am a genius
See how I transformed this old rat
Into a most delightful hat, my compliments from me to you

On this, your most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat

No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead now for much too long

Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up, all together, that and this
With all our tricks we're making Christmas time

This time, this time
Making Christmas, making Christmas
It's almost here and we can't wait

So ring the bells and celebrate
'Cause when the full moon starts to climb
We'll all sing out, "It's Christmas time"
