"Merry Xmas Everybody!"
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that ev’ry Santa has a ball.
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
It's the time that ev’ry Santa has a ball.
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is, Merry Christmas.
Ev’rybody's having fun.
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room inside?
Does your granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock-n-rolling with the best.
What will your daddy do when he sees
Your mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ha!
