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 soon see again
Go to sleep and wake up to the 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
Croquettes are warming up their kicks (bum-bum-ba-la-la-la)
Radio City sold out all of their tickets
The windows on Fifth Avenue are dressed up and 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, Santaland is ready to debut 
When Macy 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
You've got it, lady
Welcome to the Empire State building
Rockefeller Center
Oh my god
Isn't the city beautiful?
This way, ma'am

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? (ring, ring, dong, ring)
As the choirs do their caroling (here we go caroling)
The Saint Patties activity is something everyone should see 
It even makes the Grinch believe

Central Park looks beautiful in white (Central Park looks beautiful in white)
Cuddled up and meet the blanket, taking in the sides 
The city is all red and green, wrapped up like a gift for me 
Finally, it's Christmas in New York
No, there's nothing better
We should all have Christmas in New York
