Merry Xmas Everybody
The O.C. - Rooney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you hanging up your stocking on a wall
It's the time that every centre has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer
Does he turn up on a sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Are you waiting for your family to arrive
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside
Does your granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best
She'll be up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

What will your daddy do
If he catches mama kissin' Santa
Ah ah

Are you hanging up your stockings on a wall
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun




Look to the future now
It's only just begun
