The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, ya know, to kiss your beau
While cuddlin' under the mistletoe
And Santa Clause, ya know of course
Is one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay you call
And Father John, before he's gone
Will bless the house and all
Our hearts are light
Our spirits bright
We'll celebrate our joy tonight
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, ya know, to kiss your beau
While cuddlin' under the mistletoe
And Santa Clause, ya know of course
Is one of the boys from home
We'll decorate the Christmas tree
when all the family's here
Around the roarin' fire
we will raise a cup of cheer
There's gifts to bring
And songs to sing
And laughs to make the rafters ring
It's Christmas in Killarney
with all of the folks at home
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, ya know, to kiss your beau
While cuddlin' under the mistletoe
And Santa Clause, ya know of course
Is one of the boys from home
- Instrumental intermission -
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, ya know, to kiss your beau
While cuddlin' under the mistletoe
And Santa Clause, ya know of course
Is one of the boys from home
We'll take the horse and sleigh all
across the fields a-snow
listenin' 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
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, ya know, to kiss your beau
While cuddlin' under the mistletoe
And Santa Clause, ya know of course
Is one of the boys from home
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
I'm handin' you no blarney
No matter where you roam
It's Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
