  • Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
    It's the time that every Santa has a ball
    Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?
    Does a ton-up on his sleigh?
    Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

    So here it is, Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun

    Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
    Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
    Does your granny always tell ya
    That the old songs are the best?
    Then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest

    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun

    What will your daddy do
    When he sees your mama kissin' Santa Claus?
    Ah-ha
    Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
    Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
    Do you ride on down the hillside
    In a buggy you have made
    When you land upon your head, then you been slayed

    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun

    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun

    So here it is Merry Xmas
    Everybody's having fun (it's Xmas!)
    Look to the future now
    It's only just begun Writer/s: James Lea, Neville Holder
