[English]

It's Christmas Eve and no snows falling down

I'm all alone, no there's no-one around

Can't pay my bills 'cause I lost my job

I still got power but my internet's off

I hate this world but I love this new seed

68954012663

I spawn in a forest with snow on the floor

Could this be the Christmas I was searching for?

My mates went away and they didn't invite me

My parents aren't dead, no they just don't like me

Put two blocks of snow and a pumpkin together

I made a friend who'll be with me forever

Cause it's a Minecraft Christmas time

Chilling with my buddy even though i'm offline

There's a whole world of joy and cheer

That's a very very very nice Christmas you're having this year

We built a house well it's more of a shack

I got the wood and he's got my back

He throws his balls at the mobs 'o cruely

I deck the halls with this Lapiz Lazuli

We ventured out just my snowman and me

We found a sapling for a Christmas tree

We skip back home so happy and gay

No wait, I meant that in the old fashioned way

We had a roast chicken but guess I got turkey

We made mash potato from the squids thats so derpy

The furnace was hot and when I awoke I found

15 little snowballs lieing there on the ground

Cause it's a Minecraft Christmas time

Nothing seems cheery now my buddy has died

And there's a whole world of pain and fear

It's a very very very bad Christmas I'm having this year

There goes my phone, it's a text from my dad

Another gift he got my internet back

Hop on the server all my friends are online

Turns out they've been waiting for me all of this time

Spawn into the world and what do I see?

A snowman party for my homies and me

Exchanging gifts, dancing without a care

Me and my snowman we're walking in the air

It's a Minecraft Christmas time

Chilling with my buddies everyone is online

There's a whole world of joy and cheer

That's a very very very nice Christmas

'Cause it's a Minecraft Christmas time

Chilling with my buddies everyone is online

There's a whole world of joy and cheer

That's a very very very nice Christmas you're having

A very very very nice Christmas

A very very very nice Christmas we're having this year
