When it comes to great waltzes, there must be a million Melodies everyone hums But the very best waltz at the Christmas cotillion Is the Waltz of the Walnuts & Plums Now a gifted composer who writes a great waltz May get paid astronomical sums But simple and fair, none can compare With the Waltz of the Walnuts & Plums Saint Nick throws a party each night before Christmas Each elf and elfess comes And the number one hit on Christmas hit list is The Waltz of the Walnuts & Plums One, two, three Won't you waltz with me, please? When it comes to great waltzes, there might be a million And some of 'em even have drums But the very last waltz at the Christmas cotillion Waltz of the Walnuts, the best waltz of all is The Waltz of the Walnuts & Plums
