Silver hair, silver hair It’s Christmas time at The Villages

Ring-a-ling, I can’t hear a thing

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Clanging walkers, rocking rockers

Decked in holiday trim

In the air there’s a scent of mentholyptis

No children laughing, only golf carts passing

Denture smiles for miles

And on every street corner you see

Silver hair, silver hair

It’s Christmas time at The Villages

Ring-a-ling, I can’t hear a thing

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Lines of seniors we’re called geezers

Flashing cards from AARP

As the courtesy van carries home our treasures

Hear our bones crunch while depends bunch

This is Santa’s big day

Over all of the bustle you see

Silver hair, silver hair

It’s Christmas time at The Villages

Ring-a-ling, still can’t hear a thing

Soon it will be Christmas Day
