Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

[Verse 2]

Once in a year it is not thought amiss

To visit our neighbors and sing out like this

[Verse 3]

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

[Verse 4]

We want some figgy pudding

We want some figgy pudding

We want some figgy pudding

And a cup of good cheer

[Verse 5]

We won't go until we get some

We won't go until we get some

We won't go until we get some

So bring it out here

[Verse 6]

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

[Verse 7]

Once in a year it is not thought amiss

To visit our neighbors and sing out like this

Of friendship and love, good neighbors abound

And peace and goodwill the whole year around

[Verse 8]

Pace, Frieden, salud, shalom

The words mean the same, whatever your home

[Verse 9]

Why can't we have Christmas the whole year around?

Why can't we have Christmas the whole year around?

[Verse 10]

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year
