[Intro]

(cough)

Wow

[Chorus]

Let us join in the chorus

The old year fades away

Let your spirits be merry

And be bright

Let us start a new chapter

In the year that lies ahead

Let it simply be

Christmas tonight

[Verse 1]

Merry Christmas!

Merry Business!

Ching-Ching -

And a present for the missus

All that quickness -

It’s like a sickness

An empty wallet that is

Begging for forgiveness

Shop ´till you drop drop

Bag all your shop shop

Tick tack boom -

Spending coin

On the clock clock

Wrap a bit in paper

And then wrap a bit in plastic

Add a bit of ribbon

And you’ll feel truly fantastic

It’s the time of the year

When things are heating up over here

We shifted gear to high speed in fall

But shouldn’t we cool off -

It is winter after all

[Chorus]

Let us join in the chorus

The old year fades away

Let your spirits be merry

And be bright

Let us start a new chapter

In the year that lies ahead

Let it simply be

Christmas tonight

[Verse 2]

Shhhhh -

Before you wake him up!

Santa is asleep in his crib on the north pole -

Elves are shuffling round in front of windows shaped like port holes

He’s lacking fitness

He’s feeling listless -

"Does any of you little gnomes know where my list is?"

Mic check: "One, Two"

Let me bring it to you twice

It’s all about the old "Who’s been naughty who’s been nice?"

If you’ve been naughty you surely got no dice -

"Well, I have been naughty!" - so then who has been nice?

(Jingle Bells are jingling)

It’s the time of the year

(Silver Bells are ringing)

When things are heating up over here

(Christmas Choirs singing)

We shifted gear to high speed in fall

But shouldn’t we cool off -

It is winter after all

[Chorus]

Let us join in the chorus

The old year fades away

Let your spirits be merry

And be bright

Let us start a new chapter

In the year that lies ahead

Let it simply be

Christmas tonight

[Middle-8]

Hear the sound of the bells

Sweet silver bells ringing in the air -

Everywhere!

So much to do, so much, way too much -

Everywhere!

Blink blink, BOGOF signs

Everywhere!

Stop a second catch your breath –

(breath)

Sit down, get a chair

Isn’t it the season for the quiet and relaxing -

Tell me please why Christmas feels so taxing

We shifted gear to high speed in fall

But shouldn’t we cool off -

It is winter after all

[Chorus]

Let us join in the chorus

The old year fades away

Let your spirits be merry

And be bright

Let us start a new chapter

In the year that lies ahead

Let it simply be

Christmas tonight

Let us join in the chorus

The old year fades away

Let your spirits be merry

And be bright

Let us start a new chapter

In the year that lies ahead

Let it simply be

Christmas tonight
