The Merriest
Christy June Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Merry Christmas!

I'd like to fix this bag of tricks
and hand it out with a fleeting greeting:

Smiles for the frowners
Salutes to the uppers
Boosts for the downers
May the day be the bowl of cherriest
And to all, the Merriest!

Hope you swing during the season
Hope your days go great
Hope you find plenty of reasons all year long to celebrate

Sun for the mopers
A laugh for the criers
Luck for the hopers
To the strange and the ordinariest
Me to you, the Merriest!

Thoughts for the musers
A cheer for the winners
Breaks for the losers
To the beats and the debonariest
Greetings like the Merriest!

Hope there's oil under your rosevine
Hope you get that raise
Hope you hope everything goes fine
the next 300 and some odd days

Friends for the loners
A Song for the singers
Grins for the groaners




make the day the nothing can compariest
have the most, the merriest!

Mike, this was written by your parents? My favorite frozen-in-time 1961 lyrics. Just read a synopsis of your mom's career, what a trooper! Here's the article I found: http://people-vs-drchilledair.blogspot.com/2014/12/merry-christymas.html
