Though Salsoul records had long been out of print, several were brought back in the mid-'90's. Many of the more recent 'house' music offerings owe more than a passing nod to the recordings of this orchestra.
Merry Christmas All
The Salsoul Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a jolly good time of the year
People somehow know
With the Christmas spirit they show
Sleigh bells in the snow
Everywhere you go
People having fun
'Cause it's a merry time of the year
'Cause we're all just like children
With our own Christmas tree
Singing yuletide carols
Now that's Christmas to me
Another year gone by, New Year's almost here
Merry Christmas all, and a happy, happy New Year
A jolly good time of year
Sleigh bells in the snow,
Everywhere you go
People having fun, 'cause it's a merry time of the year
A jolly good time of the year
We're all just like children
Come that one special day
Giving gifts just like children
Ain't that the Christmas way
Another year gone by, New Year's almost here
Merry Christmas all, have a happy, happy New Year
A jolly good time of year
It's the only time of the year
Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year
(Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year)
Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year
Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year (repeat and fade)
