Merry Christmas

There are two Xmas songs that stand head and shoulders above the rest (in my humble opinion), the first is I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizzard, the other is this song by Slade. I like this song, not as much as Wizzard's one, but it has a cheerfully upbeat energy to it. Certainly my Dad usually insists on a bit of Slade on Xmas Day morning. The TV is rarely on, but the hi-fi will be playing a CD of suitably Xmas themed tunes.

Merry Christmas by Slade

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

So here it is merry christmas
Everybodies having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Are you waiting for your 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
And shes up and rock 'n' rolling with the rest

So here it is merry christmas
Everybodies having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

What will your daddy do when he sees your momma kissing Santa Claus? Ahaaa

Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a boggy you have made
When you land upon your head
Then you will say

So here it is merry christmas
Everybodies having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

(Repeat chorus X4)
