[English]

Ever you ready, brother unite us

Ever you been bad, all the united

Woo, Christmas time with you

I made a little list of my favorite things to do

I count one, two, three four, up to ten

From the beginning until the end

Celebrating merry, merry Christmas time with you

So have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

'Cause I spent it with you

So have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

'Cause I spent it with you

...

Woo, Christmas time with you

I made a little list of my favorite things to do

I count one, two, three four, up to ten

From the beginning until the end

Celebrating merry, merry Christmas time with you

So have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

'Cause I spent it with you

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

Have a merry, merry Christmas (Have a merry, merry Christmas)

'Cause I spent it with you

Hey

Sometimes you just need to be with the one you love

Christmas just ain't Christmas without the ones you love

That's what we used to say, woo

...

'Cause I spent it with you

Hey, hey, hey

Hey
