Hang the holly and fill every hallway with joy
Sing your carols and open a brand-new toy
Every shadow give way to the light of love
(This Christmas)
Take your mind to your favorite silent night
When you had all your loved ones right by your side
Let that memory bring wonder back to your eyes
(This Christmas)
Come play reindeer games with me
Let's hear it one time for our favorite team
We put on for the newborn King
We go up for the red and green
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la
We show up for the red and green
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la
We go up for the red and green
Calling out to the children from everywhere
Young and old, rich or poor, black or white, who cares?
There's enough team apparel for us to share
(This Christmas)
We can make it more scared if we decide
Or just meet in a park for a snowball fight
There's no winner or losers it's just good times
(This Christmas)
Come play reindeer games with me
Let's hear it one time for our favorite team
We put on for the newborn King
We go up for the red and green
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la
We show up for the red and green
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la
We go up for the red and green
'Tis the season, to be jolly
We got a reason
Come play reindeer games with me
Let's hear it one time for our favorite team
We put on for the newborn King
Let's go up for the red and green
Come play reindeer games with me
Let's hear it one time for our favorite team
We put on for the newborn King
We go up for the red and green
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la
We show up for the red and green
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la
We go up for the red and green
