It's the twentieth of December
A cold rain is fallin' down
Kenmore Square's deserted
The college kids have left town

[Chorus:]
Sure don't feel like Christmas time
Sure doesn't feel like Christmas time,
[x2]

To me

Down in Filene's Basement
Pretend I'm shoppin' for a friend
This time of year means nothing
You've got nothing you can spend

[Chorus:]
Sure don't feel like Christmas time
Sure doesn't feel like Christmas time
[x2]

It's the holiday season
And it's freezing cold
No one'll have me, I'll have no one to hold
I'll have no halls to deck, I've got nowhere to be
It sure doesn't feel like Christmas time to me

Now I'm standing in Downtown Crossing
And I've got nowhere to go
I might sleep here on the sidewalk
I'm tired and cold

The colored lights on the Common
They don't shine so bright for me
There's no such thing as peace on earth
There's no peace or harmony

[Chorus:]
Sure don't feel like Christmas time
Sure doesn't feel like Christmas time
[x2]

It's the holiday season
And it's freezing cold
No one'll have me, I'll have no one to hold
I'll have no halls to deck, I've got nowhere to be
It sure doesn't feel like Christmas time to me
