And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
In days of auld lang syne
Oh oh
Merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice, oh ooh yeah yeah
You sure did treat me nice, oh ooh
You gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise, oh oh
I'm, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
(Yes you do child)
Well I'm, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music, on, music on my radio, oh
Well I, I want to kiss you baby
While we're standing underneath the mistletoe
Santa came down the chimney
About a half past three
Left all these pretty presents
That you, that you see before me, oh
Merry Christmas baby, merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me, oh, oh ooh
Well I, I haven't had a drink this morning
But I'm, I'm lit up like a Christmas tree
Christmas tree, oh oh oh, oh yeah
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh ooh, yeah, oh, ooh,
Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah
St. Nick came down the chimney
About a half past three
He left all these pretty presents
That you see before me
Merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me
Haven't had a taste this morning
But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Oh, oh, oh ooh, oh ooh
Merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
Sure been good, to, to, to, me
Hey, oh oh hey
The opening verse of "Merry Christmas Baby" alludes to the traditional New Year's Eve song "Auld Lang Syne," questioning whether old acquaintances should be forgotten. However, the song ultimately celebrates the joys of the holiday season and recent memories with loved ones. The chorus expresses gratitude towards the person the singer is addressing, thanking them for treating them well for Christmas, especially as they gave them a diamond ring as a gift. The second verse emphasizes the importance of good music and love during this time of year, and the latter-half features the singer hoping to share a mistletoe kiss with their companion.
