Lyrics
We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
And a happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year.
Oh bring us a figgy pudding (x3)
And a cup of good cheer.
We won't go until we get some (x3)
So bring some out here.
We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
And a happy New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
And a happy New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
And a happy New Year.
