Lewis Merenstein - Glad Tidings lyrics

[Verse 1] And they'll lay you down, low and easy And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas And the miles that you traveled the distance [Bridge] So believe no lies Dry your eyes and realize That surprise La, la, la [Verse 2] And the business will shake hands and talk in numbers And the princess will wake up from her slumber Then all the knights will step fourth with their arm bands And every stranger you meet in the street will make demands [Bridge] So believe no lies Then dry your eyes and realize That surprise La, la, la [Chorus] And we'll send you glad tidings from New York Open up your eyes so you may see Ask you not to read between the lines Hope that you will come right in on time, oh [Verse 3] And they'll talk to you while you're in trances And you'll visualize not taking any chances But meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion And expect them to rise for the occasion [Bridge] Don't it gratify when you see it materialize Right in front of your eyes by surprise La, la, la [Chorus] And we'll send you glad tidings from New York Open up your eyes so you may see Ask you not to read between the lines Hope that you will come right in on time, woah And they'll lay you down, low and easy
