Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
Ooh
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Gave me that love for Christmas
Now I'm livin' in paradise
[Verse 2]
Now I'm feelin' mighty fine
I got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine
I got all that good music on my radio
I wanna kiss you, baby
While you're standin' 'neath the mistletoe
[Verse 3]
Well, now, I'm feelin' mighty fine
I got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine
We got all that good music on our radio
Well, I wanna kiss you, Bonnie
Well, I'm standin' here 'neath the mistletoe
[Chorus]
Saint Nick came down the chimney
About a half past three
Left these pretty presents that you see before me
Ooh
Merry Christmas, pretty baby
Charles, you sure been good to me
[Verse 4]
I haven't had a drink this morning
I'm all lit up
Ooh, baby, I'm all lit up
I'm all lit up
Ooh, like a Christmas tree
