[Verse 1]
Merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm livin' in paradise
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I wanna kiss you, baby
While you're standin' 'neath the mistletoe
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Santa came down the chimney
'Bout a half past three
Left all these pretty presents
That you see before me
Merry Christmas little baby
You sure have been good to me
I haven't had a drink this mornin'
But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
