Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Merry Christmas, baby, sure did treat me nice
You brought me a diamond ring for Christmas
I feel like I'm in paradise
And I'm feeling mighty fine, girl
I got good music on my radio
I said I'm feeling mighty fine, girl
I feel like I could kiss ya
Standing beneath that mistletoe
Well, Santa came down the chimney
Half past three, yeah
Brought me some good ol' presents
For my baby and for me
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
He brought all the good ol' presents
I love you, baby, for the rest of my life
Merry Christmas, baby, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, baby, sure did treat me nice, oh
Merry Christmas, baby, sure did treat me nice, nice, oh
You brought all the good ol' presents
Now I feel like I'm in paradise, yeah, yeah
Oh, baby, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas, everything is alright
Merry Christmas, girl, Merry Christmas, baby
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, ooh baby
