Merry Xmas Everybody

Merry Xmas Everybody is a 1973 Christmas song by British glam-rock band Slade.

Lyrics
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? It's the time that every Santa has a ball Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer? Does it ton-up on his sleigh? Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

[Chorus:] So here it is, Merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive? Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside? Does your granny always tell you That the old songs are the best? Then she's up and rock 'n' rolling with the rest

[Chorus:] So here it is, Merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun

What will your daddy do When he sees your momma kissing Santa Clause? Aaah ah aaah aahh

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall? Do you ride on down the hillside In a buggy you have made? When you land upon your head Then you've been "Slade" (slayed)

[Chorus:] So here it is. Merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun So here it is, Merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun

So here it is, Merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Look to the future now It's only just begun So here it is, Merry Christmas Everybody's having fun (It's Christmas!) Look to the future now It's only just begun
