Lyrics

Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Bought me a diamond ring for Christmas
I feel like I'm in paradise
I feel mighty fine, y'all
I've got music on my radio
Feel mighty fine, girl
I've got music on my radio
Oh, oh, oh
I feel like I'm gonna kiss you
Standing beneath that mistletoe
Santa came down the chimney
Half past three, y'all
Left all them good ol' presents
For my baby and for me
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
You bought all those good ol' presents
I love you baby, rest of my life
Merry Christmas, girl
Merry, merry
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas, baby
I said you sure did treat me nice
You bought me all those lovely things, yeah
I feel like I'm in paradise
I wish you a Merry Christmas, baby
Happy New Year, h
A Merry Christmas, honey
Everything here is beautiful
I love you, baby
For everything that you give me
I love you, honey
Lord, Lord have mercy
A Merry Christmas, honey
