Just take off your cold wet coat and
Come in and sit by the fire
We're already well into the wine
But we've got way more than required

There's mince pies and food we never usually eat
Except at this one time of year
So sit yourself down and get yourself warm
There's old friends with new stories to hear


You know by the sound of bells
That this is a Christmas song
A time to wish others well
Joyful words to sing along

There's just one thing to say:
Let's all have some fun
Another year's almost done
Merry Christmas everyone


There's a playlist of the Christmas hits
And everybody knows how they all go
Wizzard, Slade and other classic tracks
Capture the seasons meaning in stereo

We eat and we drink and we dance and we sing
To music that it feels we always have known
Another Christmas much like many before
Spent with others rather than being alone


You know by the sound of bells
That this is a Christmas song
A time to wish others well
Joyful words to sing along

There's just one thing to say:
Let's all have some fun
Another year's almost done
Merry Christmas everyone


So if you know someone on their own
Why not invite them inside?
The season's joy is to share
It isn't something to hide

And if your gran's still around
Why not give her a call
and friends and family
who may be far away

The only present
that they really need
Is to be in your heart
On this Christmas Day


The party's winding down a bit now
And some people are starting to leave
Drunken promises to meet again next time
Are the most we can hope to achieve

So take care of yourselves over the coming year
And the challenges it will surely bring
Keep this Christmas love held deep in your hearts
So that next year we all can still sing


You know by the sound of the bells
That this was a Christmas song
A time to wish others well
Joyful words to sing along

There's just one thing to say:
Let's all have some fun
Another year's almost done
Merry Christmas everyone

Oh, you know by the sound of the bells
That this was a Christmas song
A time to wish others well
Joyful words to sing along

There's just one thing to say:
Let's all have some fun
Another year's almost done
Merry Christmas everyone

(Spoken: Merry Christmas, everyone)

There's just one thing to say:
Let's all have some fun
Another year's almost done
Merry Christmas everyone

You know by the sound of the bells
That this was a Christmas song
A time to wish others well
Joyful words to sing along

There's just one thing to say:
Let's all have some fun
Another year's almost done
Merry Christmas everyone
