Don’t the girls all get prettier around Christmastime Don’t they all begin to look like movie stars Don’t the girls all get prettier around Christmastime When the change starts takin’ place It puts a glow on every face Of the fallen angels of the backstreet bars

Don’t the girls all get prettier at Christmastime Don’t they all begin to look like movie stars Don’t the girls all get prettier around Christmastime When the change starts takin’ place It puts a glow on every face Of the fallen angels of the backstreet bars

Don’t the girls all get prettier at Christmastime Don’t they all begin to look like movie stars Don’t the girls all get prettier around Christmastime When the change starts takin’ place It puts a glow on every face Of the fallen angels of the backstreet bars…
