text: 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 wont go until we get some
  We wont go until we get some
  We wont 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
   
  The words mean the same, whatever your home
  Why cant we have Christmas the whole year around?
  Why cant 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
