It's Christmas morning and Daddy's snoring as we sneak down the stairs

Outside it's snowing, our tree is glowing, there's magic in the air

To our surprise, before our eyes, there's presents everywhere

He hasn't forgotten to fill our stockings with Apples and Oranges and Pears 



Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait

Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate

Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that momma makes

Christmas only comes once a year

Oh what a wonderful day



There's carolers singing and church bells ringing everywhere today

Uncles and cousins and kin by the dozens droppin' by to say



Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait

Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate

Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that momma makes

Christmas only comes once a year

Oh what a wonderful day



Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait

Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate

Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that momma makes

Christmas only comes once a year

Oh what a wonderful day



Christmas only comes once a year

Oh what a wonderful

Yes what a wonderful

Oh what a wonderful day
