I did not know this song when I found it on p61 of The Christmas Bumper Book For Buskers. The musical guidance is "moderately slow" and i tried to respond to the words by giving it a bit of a joyful bounce. This morning I discovered the version sung by Elvis. He did have the decency, or not, to claim the song for himself and not Tobias & Frisch who wrote the song four years earlier in 1968.
The wonderful world of Christmas
Is a wonderful world to behold
The wonderful world of Christmas
Was made for the young and the old
Smile and good cheer of each neighbor
And children with cheeks all aglow
So, warm is this Christmassy feeling
With the tree tops all locked up with snow
Listen to those wondrous bells
And you'll hear them say
Open up your hearts to all on this holyday
The wonderful world of Christmas
Is a joy from the moment it starts
The wonderful world of Christmas
Shall remain everyday in our hearts
(Open up your hearts to all, to the wonderful world of Christmas)
