Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sound the trumpets loud and clear
Christmas time is here
That it can be heard everywhere
Christmas time is here
[Verse 2]
Everyone looking happy
Everyone looking glad
Everyone looking happy
Only I've been sad
[Verse 3]
Yes, I wish you a Merry Christmas
Rasta, Ras will be there
And wherever you may be
Tell me you're giving me a listening hand
[Chorus]
I'll try to be happy
'Cause you know what Christmas brings
You never know what's gonna happen
When you hear the choir begin to sing, choir sing
[Verse 4]
Yes, I wish you a Merry Christmas
Rasta, Ras will be there
And wherever you may be
Tell me you're giving me a listening hand
[Chorus]
I'll try to be happy
I'll try to be glad
You can't tell what's gonna happen
When you hear the choir begin to sing, choir sing
[Verse 5]
Sound the trumpets loud and clear
Well, a Merry, Merry Christmas to you, yeah
That it can be heard, Christmastime is there
That it can be heard, a Merry Christmas to you
[Chorus]
I'll try to be happy
'Cause you know what Christmas brings
You can't tell what's gonna happen
When you hear the choir begin to sing, choir sing
