Lyrics
So this is Christmas, and what have you done, Another year over, 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. A very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one, without any fears. And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong, The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long. And so happy Christmas, for black and for white For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights. A very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear. And so this is Christmas, and what have we done Another year over, a new one just begun. And so happy Christmas, we hope you have fun The near and the dear ones, the old and the young. A very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear. War is over, if you want it, war is over now.
