Lyrics

Holly Jolly Hound

[Verse 1]
She hears the doorbell ringin', boots stompin' through the snow,
Family's in the kitchen, but she steals the show.
A waggin' tail, a happy bark, her welcome's always true,
Oh, my holly jolly hound, this season's made for you.

[Chorus]
She sniffs her gifts beneath the tree,
Doesn't open 'em, just lets 'em be.
Rests her nose on my knee, waitin' for some pie,
With her toys by the fire, watchin' embers fly.
Oh, life is good, yeah, life is sweet,
For my holly jolly hound at my feet.

[Verse 2]
Turkey scraps and mashed potatoes, sneaked down from a plate,
She knows the holidays are here, her patience won’t abate.
The warmth of kin, the joy of cheer, she feels it like we do,
And every tail wag tells the tale, her Christmas heart is true.

[Chorus]
She sniffs her gifts beneath the tree,
Doesn't open 'em, just lets 'em be.
Rests her nose on my knee, waitin' for some pie,
With her toys by the fire, watchin' embers fly.
Oh, life is good, yeah, life is sweet,
For my holly jolly hound at my feet.

[Bridge]
By the cracklin' fire, she curls up tight,
Dreamin' doggy dreams on a winter's night.
Through the joy and laughter, she’s always there,
My furry little angel, with her holiday flair.

[Chorus]
She sniffs her gifts beneath the tree,
Doesn't open 'em, just lets 'em be.
Rests her nose on my knee, waitin' for some pie,
With her toys by the fire, watchin' embers fly.
Oh, life is good, yeah, life is sweet,
For my holly jolly hound at my feet.
