Lyrics

[Intro]

Happy Christmas, Kyoko

Happy Christmas, Julian

[Verse 1]

So this is Christmas

And what have you done?

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you had fun

The near and the dear ones

The old and the young

[Chorus]

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

[Verse 2]

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)

The road is so long (Now)

And so happy Christmas (War is over)

For black and for white (If you want it)

For yellow and red ones (War is over)

Let's stop all the fight (Now)

[Chorus]

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

[Verse 3]

And so this is Christmas (War is over)

And what have we done? (If you want it)

Another year over (War is over)

And a new one just begun (Now)

And so happy Christmas (War is over)

We hope you have fun (If you want it)

The near and the dear ones (War is over)

The old and the young (Now)

[Chorus]

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

[Outro]

War is over if you want it

War is over now

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas (Happy Christmas)

Happy Christmas (Happy Christmas)

Happy Christmas (Happy Christmas)
