Merry Christmas
(Hey, yeah, oh-oh-oh)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays
Ooh, yeah
We’ve been waiting
All year for this night
And the snow is glistening on the trees outside
And all the stockings
Are hung by the fireside
Waiting for Santa to arrive
And all the love will show
‘Cause everybody knows
It’s Christmas time and
All the kids will see
The gifts under the tree
It’s the best time of year for the family
It’s a wonderful feeling (Hey, yeah, yeah)
Feel the love in the room from the floor to the ceiling
It’s that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you His love
And everything’s okay
Merry Christmas, happy holidays (Oh, yeah)
Merry Christmas (Oh)
Merry Christmas

And everybody’s playing ’cause school’s out
Celebrating the special times we share
Happiness ’cause love is in the air
