Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So this is Christmas

And what have you done?

Another year over

And a new one just begun

[Verse 2]

And so this is Christmas

I hope you had fun

The near and the dear ones

The old and the young

[Verse 3]

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

[Verse 4]

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

The rich and the poor ones

The road is so long

[Verse 5]

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fights

[Verse 6]

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

[Verse 7]

And so this is Christmas

And what have we done?

Another year over

And a new one just begun

[Verse 8]

So happy Christmas

We hope you had fun

The near and the dear ones

The old and the young

[Verse 9]

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

[Verse 10]

War is over

If you want it

War is over

Now
