The angels the angels in the sky
The angels the angels in the sky
One’s dressed as an officer

One’s dressed as a chef today

Sweet Spring when Christmas is long gone
Will deck you with a lovely sun

The angels the angels in the sky
One’s dressed as an officer
One’s dressed as a chef today
And the others sing

Sweet Spring when Christmas is long gone
Will deck you with a lovely sun
A lovely sun

The chef plucks geese
Ah! Snowfalls hiss
Fall and how I miss
My beloved in my arms
