[Verse 1]
Merry Christmas, you suckers, you miserable men
That old festive season is with you again
You'll be spending your money on cartloads of junk
And from here 'til New Year you'll be drunk as a skunk
[Verse 2]
Merry Christmas, you suckers, it's perfectly clear
That you fall for it all a bit sooner each year
If it goes on like this, you will find pretty soon
You're singing "White Christmas" as early as June
[Bridge]
This Christmas card racket
Will cost you a packet
Each season, it seems to expand
The cards are so clever
Though nothing whatever
To do with the subjеct in hand
[Verse 3]
You'll be taking the kids 'round the multiplе stores
To be frightened to death by some old Santa Claus
Then it's parties with spirits and vino and beer
Merry Christmas, you suckers, and a Happy New Year!
[Verse 4]
Merry Christmas, you suckers, you bleary-eyed lot
You'll never get rid of that headache you've got
But I hope you'll feel splendid, you certainly should
With your stomachs distended with turkey and pud
[Verse 5]
Merry Christmas, you suckers, jump into your cars
Roar off to your neighbours to sink a few jars
Though your vision is double, just keep smiling through
There are others in trouble a lot worse than you
[Bridge]
Beyond any question
Acute indigestion
Will plague you and make you unwell
You won't take the warning
You'll wake up each morning
Undoubtedly feeling like hell
[Verse 6]
But stick to it, suckers, go swallow a pill
For this is the season of peace and good will
While we patiently wait for that nuclear blast
Merry Christmas, you suckers, it may be your last
