Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Merry Christmas, baby, sure did treat me nice
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 got good music on my radio
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
