Christmas cheer (country style with duet)

--- 🎵 “Christmas Cheer” --- (Verse 1) There’s snow on the sidewalk, lights in the trees, A chill in the air but the laughter’s a breeze. The band’s playin’ smooth, and the crowd’s feelin’ fine, Pour another round of joy and let that tinsel shine! The trumpets are singin’, the bass walks tall, Santa’s tappin’ time down the old dance hall. It’s the happiest swing of the whole darn year — When the band kicks in that Christmas cheer! --- (Chorus) Christmas cheer! Raise your glass up high, To the ones you love and the starry sky. From the city lights to the mountain clear, Let’s toast tonight to Christmas cheer! --- (Verse 2) There’s a gal in red with a mistletoe grin, She’s got holly on her heart and a sparkle within. The drummer’s snappin’, the trumpet’s hot, Man, the eggnog’s spiked and the groove won’t stop! We’re two steps deep in that jingle swing, And the choir’s hummin’ “Let the sleigh bells ring!” Oh, it’s magic time when the night draws near, Wrapped up tight in Christmas cheer. --- (Chorus) Christmas cheer! Let the music play, Like Sinatra swingin’ Christmas Day. From midnight clear to the new year near, We’re ridin’ high on Christmas cheer! --- (Bridge – Background singers “doo-bee-doo-bah, doo-bee-doo”) 🎺 Trumpet solo (8 bars) 🎹 Piano follows with a jazzy reply (Verse 3) So gather ‘round, my friends, come close, To the clink of the glass and the trumpet’s toast. ‘Cause love’s the reason, year after year, We all come back for Christmas cheer. --- (Final Chorus – Full Big Band) Christmas cheer! Raise your glass up high, To the joy, the love, and the reason why. From Times Square lights to Bethlehem’s clear, We’re swingin’ strong with Christmas cheer! --- (Tag – Soft ending, piano + trumpet) 🎹 “Doo-bee-doo, doo-bee-doo…” 🎺 Ba-da-bop… ba-da-bop… Christmas cheer — all through the year! ---
