We wish you A merry christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.

We want some figgy pudding (3x)
And a cup of good cheer.

We won't go until we get some (3x)
So bring it out here!

We wish you a Merry Christmas (3x)
And a happy New Year.
