So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
Well, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

Well, a very Merry Christmas
Ooh, and a Happy New Year, yeah
Let's hope it's a good one, oh yeah
Without any fear

So this is Christmas
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
For weak and for strong
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

For the rich and the poor ones
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Let's hope it's a good one, oh
Without any fear
