Well, Merry Christmas everyone, it's another Christmas Day
Snow has started falling and Santa's on his way
He's got Rudolph and his reindeers and lots of lovely toys
He'll be coming down the chimney to all you little girls and boys
He's got him on his Santa suit and his daddy Christmas shoes
Well, Merry Christmas everyone, I've got the Christmas blues.
Well, Merry Christmas everyone, it's Christmas time once more
There'll be chestnuts roasting on the fire and Jack Frost at the door
They'll be hanging Christmas stockings full of sticky sweets and gums
There'll be cake and cookies and fresh milk for Santa when he comes
So sleep tight, little babies, no playing peek-a-boos
And Merry Christmas everyone, I've got the Christmas blues.
CHORUS
Well, fairy lights and Christmas trees all covered up in snow
And daddy kissing mommy underneath the mistletoe
Children waking everywhere as the bells ring out the news
Well, Merry Christmas everyone, I've got the Christmas blues.
Well, Merry Christmas everyone, it's Christmas everywhere
It's time to talk of peace and love, there's magic in the air
A time of happiness and joy, to reach out and to share
A time of giving and good will, and to show the world you care
A time to raise a voice of hope, so sing out if you choose
So Merry Christmas, everyone, I've got the Christmas blues.
CHORUS X2
Well, fairy lights and Christmas trees all covered up in snow
And daddy kissing mommy underneath the mistletoe
Children waking everywhere as the bells ring out the news
Well, Merry Christmas everyone, I've got the Christmas blues.

Born on Christmas Day

Mama told me, yeah she told me, 'round the old Christmas tree
Of a story about a man, he came from Galilee
Said his name, it was Jesus, she'd smile as she'd say
He was born in a stable on Christmas day.
Mama told me, yeah she told me, she would always begin
How poor Mary and Joseph found no room at the inn
'Til they came to a stable where they were destined to stay
Had a baby named Jesus on born Christmas day.
CHORUS
And we gather, yes we gather, we rejoice and we sing
And we'll sing out in joy and in praise of the King
And we'll gather, yes we'll gather and together we'll pray
For a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.
Mama told me, yeah she told me, shepherds first saw the light
As it shone in the night sky and it burned big and bright
'Til they came to a stable where, in a manger, there lay
Was a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.
Mama told me, yeah she told me, of a bright shining star
How three wise men bearing presents followed it from afar
'Til they came to a stable, where it guided their way
To a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.
CHORUS
And we gather, yes we gather, we rejoice and we sing
And we'll sing out in joy and in praise of the King
And we'll gather, yes we'll gather and together we'll pray
For a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.
Mama told me, yeah she told me, he was God's only son
He was sent down to save us, and to tell everyone
To bid peace and good will and to love 'long the way
And his name, it was Jesus, born on Christmas day.
CHORUS
And we gather, yes we gather, we rejoice and we sing
And we'll sing out in joy and in praise of the King
And we'll gather, yes we'll gather and together we'll pray
For a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.
