( doo, doo, doo doo . . . )       Friendship is a holly tree,    That brightens as it grows,    Friendship is a holly tree,    But love is a Christmas rose!       Romance is the mistletoe,    That from the ceiling glows,    Romance is the mistletoe,    But love is a Christmas rose!       With this rose I give you,    On this Christmas day,    Can't you see my darling,    What my heart has tried so hard to say?       Friendship is a holly tree ( Friendship is a holly tree )    That brightens as it grows ( That brightens as it grows )    Friendship is a holly tree ( Friendship is a holly tree )    But love is a Christmas rose! ( But love is a Christmas rose! )       Romance is the mistletoe ( Romance is the mistletoe )    That from the ceiling glows ( That from the ceiling glows )    Romance is the mistletoe ( Romance is the mistletoe )    But love is a Christmas rose! ( But love is a Christmas rose! )       Love is a Christmas rose! ( Friendship is a holly tree )    Love is a Christmas rose! ( Romance is the mistletoe )    Love is a Christmas rose . . . fade       Words and Music by Earl Shuman    and Leon Carr
