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.

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a lots of good cheers.

(Eek-A-Mouse scatting.)

I saw Santa Claus come down the chimney,
He did not bring not toy for me.
He say I was not a little baby.

I wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christmas comes but once a year,
Let's get together and have a cheer.
It is Christmas time, so,
Let us have a nice time.

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.

It's Christmas Time, we must reason,
Together for it's the season.
Come all little ones, let's get together,
It's Christmas Time again.

I'll bring you, good tidings,
I wish you my world.
I wish you all my hapiness,
And keeping good health.

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.

Lord! Now I wish you a Merry Christmas,
You better, dedicate it to you from us. Style
Peace on earh, could it be for all my kind?
And I hope that you feelin' well fine, settle!

A friend of yours is a good friend of mine.
A friend of yours is a good friend of mine.
We get together, mek we have a good time.
Good friend is just like a winter wine!
