'Tis the season to be jolly
But how can I be when I have nobody
The yuletide carol doesn't make it better
Knowing that we won't be together
A silent night
I know it's gonna be
Joy to the world
But it's gonna be sad for me
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas time
The children can play with their new toys
While their little hearts burst open with joy
And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoes
The choirs can sing those glorious songs of old
But what is left
Oh, for me to do
Now that it's Christmas
And I don't have you
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas time
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas
Ooh, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, ho, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas
But how can I be when I have nobody
The yuletide carol doesn't make it better
Knowing that we won't be together
A silent night
I know it's gonna be
Joy to the world
But it's gonna be sad for me
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas time
The children can play with their new toys
While their little hearts burst open with joy
And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoes
The choirs can sing those glorious songs of old
But what is left
Oh, for me to do
Now that it's Christmas
And I don't have you
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas time
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas
Ooh, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas
What do the lonely do
At Christmas
Oh, ho, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas
