Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Happy holidays
Happy holidays
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
[Verse 2]
Happy holidays, happy holiday, happy holiday
Happy holidays, happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep ringing
Happy holiday to you
[Verse 3]
The first noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
[Verse 4]
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 5]
Little Jesus sweetly sleep
Do not stir, we will lend our coat of fur
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
See the fur to keep you warm
Slightly rock your tiny form
[Verse 6]
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the ever lasting light
The hopes and fears of all my years are met in thee tonight
[Verse 7]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous phrase
[Verse 8]
Gloria
In excelsis Deo
Gloria
In excelsis Deo
