Minecraft Christmas – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[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
