MERRY CHRISTMAS

From the album BORN TO BE (1968)

I wish you a merry Christmas

I wish you a merry Christmas

I wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

I want some figgy pudding

I want some figgy pudding

I want some figgy pudding

And a cup of good cheer

I won't go until I get some

I won't go until I get some

I won't go until I get some

So bring it right here

Once in the year it's not thought amiss

To visit our neighbours and sing out like this

Of friendship and love, good neighbours abound

And peace and good will the whole year around

“Pace”, “salud”, “freidsmier”, “shalom”

The words mean the same whatever your home

Why can't we have Christmas the whole year around?

Why can't we have Christmas the whole year around?

I wish you a merry Christmas

I wish, wish a merry Christmas

I wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year
