Song information

Album: A Holiday Celebration

Lyrics

Once in a year, it is not thought amiss
To visit our neighbors and sing out like this

We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year
We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year

We all want some figgy pudding
We all want some figgy pudding
We all want some figgy pudding
And a cup of good cheer
And 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 right here
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year
A happy new year

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

(Pace!) (shanti!) (salud!) (shalom!)
The words mean the same, whatever your home
Why can't we have christmas the whole year around?
Why can't we have christmas the whole year around?

We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year
We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
We wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year
