And they'll lay you down low in the easy

And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas.

And the miles that you traveled the distance

So believe no lies,

     G           C         G    C
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
     G        C       G   C
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
        G           C       G     C
Then all the knights will step forth  with their arm bands
       G            C        G   C
And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands

        G   C
So believe no lies,
       G   C
Then dry your eyes
    G  D D
And realize
        G
   That surprise


[Chorus]

[Bridge]:
      C       D          G
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
C       D        G
Open up your eyes so you may see
C        D        G  Em
Ask you not to read between the lines
C          D        G
Hope that you will come in right on time


G  C  G  C

       G      c        G   C
And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
      G       c      G   C
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
        G      c          G   C
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
    G       c       G   C
And expect them  to rise for the occasion

        G c
Don't it gratify
            G  c
When you see it materialize
            G   D D
Right in front of your eyes
        G
   That surprise


[Chorus]

G  C  G  G7

And they'll lay you down low and easy
