[Chorus]
Merry, merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
I said merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice

[Break]
Gave me diamond rings for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

[Chorus 2]
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

[Break 2]
Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe

[Chorus]
I said, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice, yes, you did
Yes, you did, yes, you did, yes, you did
I said merry, merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice

[Break]

[Chorus]
I said, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm putting it through Al's mike

[Chorus 2]

[Break 2]

[Chorus 2]
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my, on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

[Break 2]
Well, I want to kiss you, baby
Underneath your mistletoe

[Chorus]
I said merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
