Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Happy Christmas, Kyoko
Happy Christmas, Julian
[Verse 2]
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
A new one just begun
[Verse 3]
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
[Verse 4]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
[Verse 5]
And so this is Christmas
(War is over)
For weak and for strong
(If you want it)
The rich and the poor ones
(War is over now)
The road is so long
[Verse 6]
And so happy Christmas
(War is over)
For black and for white
(If you want it)
For yellow and red ones
(War is over now)
Let's stop all the fight
[Verse 7]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
[Verse 8]
And so this is Christmas
(War is over)
And what have we done?
(If you want it)
Another year over
(War is over now)
A new one just begun
[Verse 9]
And so happy Christmas
(War is over)
We hope you have fun
(If you want it)
The near and the dear one
(War is over now)
The old and the young
[Verse 10]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
[Verse 11]
(War is over)
(If you want it)
(War is over now)
[Verse 12]
(Happy Christmas)
(Happy Christmas)
(Happy Christmas)
