(clarinet and piano intro, with teachers lecturing)

(instrumental section, with the school bell ringing and the kids rejoicing)

For unto us, our school is closing,
For unto us, our school is closing,

(instrumental break, with more kids rejoicing)

For unto us, our school is closing,
For unto us, now school is out!

(instrumental break)

Today goes out to all the children
And light the way for joyful cries,
Today the kids will rejoice again
Their world is right
And hopes are high,
And from a blank,
dusty school window,
That day appears,
That time is nigh,
Because it's Christmas,
Because it's Christmas,

Today goes out to all the children,
Today their joy rings through the air
And so they will never face homework,
That also goes for tests again,
Today has smiles and raging laughter,
It's time to give,
It's time to share,
Because it's Christmas,
Our greatest time ever,
For all of the children,
And for the children in us all,

(instrumental break, with kids shouting joyfully)

Today goes out to all the children,
Today their joy rings through the air
And so they will never face homework,
That also goes for tests again,
Today has smiles and raging laughter,
It's time to give,
It's time to share,
Because it's Christmas,
Our greatest time ever,
For all of the children,
And for the children in us all!

(instrumental ending with children making joyful noises, then fades out)
