We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring it out here!
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year!
The lyrics to "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" by John Denver and The Muppets are a joyful and festive reminder of the holiday season. The repetition of the first and last verses creates a sense of unity and togetherness among all those who celebrate Christmas and the New Year. The lyrics then take a humorous turn as the subject of figgy pudding is introduced. The demand for figgy pudding signifies the enjoyment of good food and company, as well as a lightheartedness and playfulness in the midst of holiday tradition. The final verse once again offers well wishes and a mention of the most important aspect of the holiday season: happiness, joy, and the spreading of love and kindness.

For three years after John Denver died I couldn’t listen to this album. The TV special, and this soundtrack are two of my most joyous Christmas memories.

The "We won't go until we get some" always cracks me up.

This was our family's 'go to' Christmas music in the 90s. We listened to it coming back from Thanksgiving until going to my aunt's house for Christmas. I LOVE every second of this album. It really IS my youth.
