It came upon a midnight clear,
That old familiar carol, dear,
But you don't know your Christmas music, do ya?
So any song you may have heard
That might contain a Hebrew word
Becomes a tune for yuletide: Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-uuujah.

Babe, I see you grow annoyed
Each time "The Little Drummer Boy"
Pa-rums its way across the airwaves to ya.
But even when the shopping malls
Are filled each year "Deck the Halls"
You can't just drown 'em out with Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-uuujah.

When Bruce has Santa come to town,
Or Paul McCartney gets you down,
Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky might renew ya.
I know it sounds unreasonable,
But not all songs are seasonal,
And this one's writer's Jewish: Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-uuujah.
