Lyric
Like a fixture down on Main StreetShe stood there all year longWith a tin cup and a tamborineSinging Christmas songsFolks thought she was crazyBut they loved to hear her singThey’d drop some money in her canShe’d shake that tamborineAnd they called her Christmas CarolThere’s not a Christmas songShe couldn’t sing i remember Christmas CarolWith her snow white hair andHer beat up tamborineShe wore that same old raggedCoat all the year aroundLived all alone in a littleShack just outside of townShe’d stand there singing “Jingle Bells” inThe heat of the summer timeYes, every day was ChristmasIn Carol Johnson’s mindAnd they called her Christmas CarolThere’s not a Christmas songShe couldn’t sing i remember Christmas CarolWith her snow white hair andHer beat up tamborineBut I can still remember thatTwinkle in her eye‘Cause Carol kept a secret fromThe people passing byThat secret was a mystery theyTalked about so longHow each Christmas eve those gifts showedUp outside the children’s homeThat was forty years ago, or fifty I believeBut still the toys keep showing upEach year on Christmas eveI wonder if we’ll ever know justWho took up the causeIs it still Christmas CarolOr is it Santa Claus?And they called her Christmas CarolThere’s not a Christmas songShe couldn’t sing i remember Christmas CarolWith her snow white hair andHer beat up tamborine
