Every year lasted too long, with Easter bunnies, birthday cards,
And seaside outings in the summer, only to break the long
Gap of time that stretched between the one and the other
Christmas

Christmas in the sixties was fine
With candles, goodies, presents, and wine
Peace on Earth was real, it seemed
And LOVE a word as yet not obscene, oh no

Watching the season parade
Dying trees, and neon stars, and plastic Santas for a penny 
urging to celebrate ding dong ding dong
Here comes another Christmas!

Christmas was a jolly old time
With Billy Smart's and Auld Lang Syne
Peace on Earth was real, it seemed
And LOVE a word as yet not obscene, oh no

Christmas tree smell and those silvery bells
Christmas was a friend of mine

Aaaaaahhhhhhh ..
Pa pa pam pam paadam, pa pa pam pam paadam

Christmas was a friend of mine
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Everybody, all around the world,
Christmas-time is here
And I hope that everybody's gonna have a good time coming if it's up to me yeah
Christmas time is here again
Ain't been around since you know when
Happy New Year Happy New Year
I hope that everyone will have a happy New Year…
