Lyrics

Hang all the mistletoe

I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas

And as we trim the tree

How much fun it's gonna be together, this Christmas

The fireside is blazin' bright

We're carolin' through the night

And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me

Presents and cards are here

My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas

And as I look around

Your eyes outshine the town, they do, this Christmas

Fireside is blazin' bright

We're carolin' through the night

And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me, yeah

Shake a hand, shake a hand now

The fireside is blazin' bright

We're carolin' through the night

And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me, yeah

Merry Christmas

Shake a hand, shake a hand now

Wish your brother a merry Christmas

All over the land, now

Yeah

Merry Christmas

Merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry
