[Verse 1]
The moon is right
The spirit's up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

[Verse 2]
The party's on
The feeling's here
That only comes
This time of year

[Chorus]
We're simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

[Verse 3]
The word is out (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
About the town (Aah)
To lift a glass
Ah, don't look down

[Verse 4]
The party's on (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
The spirit's up (Aah)
We're here tonight
And that's enough

[Chorus]
We're simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

[Bridge]
The children's choir sings a song
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
The children's choir sings a song
And everyone can sing along
Yeah!

[Verse 5]
The party's on
The feeling's here
That only comes
This time of year

[Chorus]
We're simply having a wonderful Christmastime
We're simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
