Here We Come A-Caroling
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Among the leaves so green!
Here we coma a-wandering,
So fair to be seen!
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
And God send you a Happy New Year!
We are not daily beggars,
That go from door to door!
But we are friendly neighbours,
Whom you have seen before!
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!
Good tidings to you,
Wherever you are,
Good tidings for Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!
