FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG # 18 - Merry Christmas Everybody

 

Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule and I have a short list of personal favourites.

Without exception all my choices not only include the song but the best performer of that song and so in no particular order here is my Eighteenth selection.

 

Merry Christmas Everybody

Music & lyrics by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea

Performed by Slade

 

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?

Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
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 'n' rollin' with the rest

Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
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 ah
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've been slayed

Chorus (3x)
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
