[Verse 1]
G C7
Suddenly it's Christmas
F Bb
Right after Hallowe'en
F
Forget about Thanksgiving;
C
It's just a buffet in between
F C7
There's lights and tinsel in the windows;
F Bb
They're stocking up the shelves;
F
Santa's slaving at the North Pole
C7 F
In his sweatshop full of elves
[Verse 2]
F C7
There's got to be a build-up
F Bb
To the day that Christ was born:
F
The halls are decked with pumpkins
C7
And the ears of Indian corn
F C7
Dragging through the falling leaves
F Bb
In a one-horse open sleigh
F
Suddenly it's Christmas
C7 F
Seven weeks before the day
[Chorus]
Bb
Suddenly it's Christmas
The longest holiday
F
When they say "Season's Greetings"
C7
They mean just what they say:
F C7
It's a season, it's a marathon
F Bb
Retail eternity
F
It's not over till it's over
C7 F G
And you throw away the tree
[Verse 3]
G D7
Outside it's positively balmy
G C
In the air nary a nip;
G
Suddenly it's Christmas
D7
Unbuttoned and unzipped
G D7
Yes, they're working overtime
G C
Santa's little runts;
G
Christmas comes but once a year
D7 G
And goes on for two months
[Verse 4]
G D7
Christmas carols in December
G C
And November, too;
G
It's no wonder we're depressed
D7
When the whole thing is through
G D7
Finally it's January;
G C
Let's sing "Auld Lang Syne";
G
But here comes another heartache
D7 G
Shaped like a Valentine
[Chorus]
C
Suddenly it's Christmas
The longest holiday
G
The season is upon us;
D7
A pox, it won't go away
G D7
It's a season, it's a marathon
G C
Retail eternity
G
It's not over till it's over
D7 G
And you throw away the tree
G
No, it's not over till it's over
D7 G
And you throw away the tree;
G
It's still not over till it's over
D7 G
And you throw away the tree
G C7
Suddenly it's Christmas

D7 G
And you throw away the tree
