Let’s Hear it For the Holidays Lyrics

CHORUS
Let’s hear it for the holidays
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands x2

RAP
Trick or treat on Halloween,
show gratitude on Thanksgiving.
Hanukkah candles light the way,
we’ve all got our favorite holidays—like
the lights of Diwali,
the ivy, the holly
of Christmas.
Writin’ up my wishlist—hear
the music, it’s merry,
we wish you a very
healthy and happy new year.

CHORUS
Let’s hear it for the holidays
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands x2

Teachers can email their school name with the attached MP3s to socialmedia@quavered.com. Feel free to include any other pertinent details in your email!

Teachers may submit as many entries as they’d like. We know the number could climb quickly if you let each student make their own, so one per classroom might be the way to go.

Yes, all entries must be submitted by December 20, 2024. Late submissions will not be accepted.
