letra:
So
this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry
Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is
Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red one
Let's stop all the fight
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red one
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry
Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is
Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry
Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
la, la, ah, ah
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas (happy Christmas)
Happy Christmas (happy Christmas)
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas (happy Christmas)
Happy Christmas (happy Christmas)
