It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau 
      G                  D 
While cuddling under the mistletoe 
    G               D 
And Santa Claus you know, of course

Is one of the boys from home

The neighbors pay a call

And Father John before he's gone

Will bless the house and all

We'll decorate the Christmas tree 
When all the family's here 
Around a roaring fire 
We will raise a cup of cheer 
There's gifts to bring, And songs to sing 
And laughs to make the rafters ring 
Is Christmas in Killarney 
With all of the folks at home 
 
(REPEAT VERSE) 
 
  
(BRIDGE:) 
We'll take the horse and sleigh all  
Across the fields of snow 
Listening to the jingle bells  
Everywhere we go 
How grand it feels to click your heels 
And dance away to the jigs and reels   
It's Christmas in Killarney 
With all of the folks at home 
 
(REPEAT VERSE)
