[English]

Hang all the mistletoe

I'm gonna get to know you better

This Christmas

And as we trim the tree

How much fun it's gonna be together

This Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright

We're caroling through the night

And this Christmas

Will be

A very special Christmas for me

Yeah

Presents and cards are here

My world is filled with cheer and you

This Christmas

As I look around

Your eyes outshine the town they do

This Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright

We're caroling through the night

And this Christmas

Will be

A very special Christmas for me

Yeah

Mmm, fireside is blazing bright

We're caroling through the night

And this Christmas

Will be

A very special Christmas for me

This Christmas

And as I look around

Your eyes outshine the family this Christmas high

And this Christmas

Will be

A very special Christmas for me

Yeah

Merry Christmas

Shake a hand, shake a hand now

Wish your brother merry Christmas

This Christmas

For me

Yeah

This Christmas

Will be

A very special Christmas for me

Yeah

Shake your hand

Shake your hand

Shake your hand now

Shake your hand, shake your hand now

Shake, shake, shake, shake hand now
