Snow covered rooftops, lights on the trees
The sound of singing I hear down every street
Families have gathered from miles away
Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
You see that old tree down Cotton Lane
Those lights keep shining, it's always the same
We hear the church bells ring out to say
Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
Swing the lights and hang the stockings
Decorate with green and red
Made the cookies for old Santa
Made a runway for his sled
Singing carols on a sleigh ride
Gather 'round the manger scene
Open presents, read the letters
And together we will sing
Oh, Merry Christmas, joy to the world
For every nation, for every boy and girl
Let's light a candle, for peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
It's Christmas day, it's Christmas day, oh
Let's light a candle, for peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas, it's Christmas day, oh, ooh
