Peace, love and harmony
And presents underneath the tree
Good friends and family
Oh, that's the way that it's supposed to be, yeah

It should be more than once a year
That we adore the ones that we hold dear

And all I want this year for Christmas
Is every man, woman and child
To have a very merry Christmas
Like the Christmases of yesteryear's time
A very merry Christmas, oh yeah, oh

Sleigh bells and caroling
And five cents every song we'd sing, oh
All this behavoring
Just to know what Christmas day would bring, oh

It only comes but once a year
Let's hope it comes upon a midnight clear

And all I want this year for Christmas
Is every man, woman and child, yeah
To have a very merry Christmas
Like the Christmases of yesteryear's time
