[Pre-Chorus]
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

[Chorus]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Verse 1]
And so this is Christmas (Oooh)
For weak and for strong (Oooh)
For rich and the poor ones (Oooh)
The war is so long (Oooh)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)

[Chorus]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Pre-Chorus]
So this is Christmas (Oooh)
And what have we done (Oooh)
Another year over (Oooh)
And a new one just begun (Oooh)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear ones (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)

[Chorus]
(A very merry Christmas) A very merry Christmas
(And a happy New Year) Oooh, oh
(Let's hope it's a good one) It' a good, it's a good one
Without any fear

[Outro]
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
