Just Getting Started

It's Christmas Again is a Sesame Street song. It began as just a simple Christmas carol, but then when Elmo wishes for it to be Christmas every day and (due to a magical item) his wish comes true, weird variations crop up such as Independence Day on Christmas, and at the end, the singers lose their voices from singing it too much.

Lyrics
Bob: Hang the star up on the tree.

Bob, Chris, Gordon, Gina and others: It's Christmas again.

Big Bird: Candy canes for you and me.

Bob, Chris, Gordon and others: It's Christmas again.

With jingle bells and pine tree smells and peace on Earth to men.

So wave the turkey leg up high.

Hurrah for mince and pumpkin pie.

'Til Santa falls up in the sky!

It's Christmas again.

Elmo: There's smiling Christmas faces and a lot of Christmas cheer.

Oscar: Yuck! Which really makes me grateful that it's only once a year.

Grover: Oh, buy some Christmas trees from a monster who is blue.

It will make you happier and I'll be happy too.

Humphrey: Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong. Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong. Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.

Elves: We whistle while we work making toys for Santa's sleigh.

When Christmastime is over, we get a holiday.

Carol Singers plus Herry, the Count and two other monsters: With jingle bells and pine tree smells and peace on Earth to men.

So wave the turkey leg up high.

Hurrah for mince and pumpkin pie.

'Til Santa falls up in the sky!

It's Christmas again.

Muppets except Elmo: Hang the tinsel on the tree.

It's Christmas again.

Elmo: Again!

Gina, Gabi, Maria, Bob, Chris, Gordon and several others: Candy canes for you and me.

It's Christmas again.

Elmo: Again!

Gina, Gabi, Maria, Bob, Chris, Gordon, the Count and several others: Again, again, again, again, again, again, again.

They're putting toys on Santa's sleigh.

Gina, Gabi, Maria, Elmo, Bob, Chris, Gordon, Rosita and several others: Today is just like yesterday.

'Cause Christmas hasn't gone away!

Elmo: It's Christmas again!

Bob, Gordon, David, Gina and several others: Cherry blossoms on the trees.

It's Christmas again.

Tell ladybugs and bumblebees.

It's Christmas again.

The birds all tweet.

All gather leet.

In every green and glen.

The snow has melted clean away.

It's only grass on Santa's sleigh.

That's always there for one more day!

It's Christmas again.

Happy Independence Day.

It's Christmas again.

Let the marching music play.

It's Christmas again.

So ring your bells and sing your wells,

To tell them in a den.

The stars and stripes are waving high.

The fireworks are in the sky.

It's on the fourth day of July!

It's Christmas again.

Hang the stars upon the tree.

It's Christmas again.

Candy canes for you and me.

It's Christmas again.

With jingle bells and pine tree smells and peace.
