Lyrics
Ernie and Bert's Red Book: (singing) Pretty papers, wrapping presents, that's Christmas. Milk and cookies, for Santa to eat (Yum! Yum!) Tree lights blinking, so brightly, that's Christmas. If Christmas could happen every day, it wouldn't be special in its own special way. That's why Ernie and Bert's Red Book saves Christmas, for Christmas. (scatting) Not for April, October or July. Opening presents every day, there'll be no time left to play. Christmas is here and it's always the right time of year. (spoken) Come on, everybody!

Chorus: The season of giving will last the whole day long. Carolers are singing an old familiar song.

Ernie and Bert's Red Book: (singing) Pretty papers, (Chorus: La, la, la, la!) wrapping presents, (Chorus: La, la, la, la!) that's Christmas. (Chorus: La, la, la, la! Ernie and Bert's Red Book saves Christmas!) Milk and cookies (Ho, ho!) (Chorus: La, la, la, la!) for Santa (Chorus: La, la, la, la!) to eat! (Chorus: La, la, la, la! Ernie and Bert's Red Book saves Christmas!) That's why Ernie and Bert's Red Book (Chorus: La, la, la, la!) saves Christmas, (Chorus: La, la, la, la!) for Christmas. (Chorus: La, la, la, la! Ernie and Bert's Red Book saves Christmas!) Christmas is here and it's always the right time of year. (Chorus: La, la, la, la! Ernie and Bert's Red Book saves Christmas!) Christmas is here and it's always the right time of year. (Chorus: La, la, la, la! La, la, la, la, la! La, la, la, la!) (spoken) Merry Christmas, everybody! Ho, ho, ho!
