[Verse 1]
The cars on the street are covered in snow
The world woke up white and we got nowhere to go
So we fill our coffee cups with another round
And watch the quiet streets outside as flakes fall to the ground
And we smile to each other as the record spins around

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh

[Verse 2]
We put our jackets on and go for a walk
The neighbors are building a snowman just down the block
And people share our smiles, as they can relate
Yeah, we're forced to accept the things that we cannot change
So we smile to each other and say

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh

[Verse 3]
Yeah, they called it Ice Storm 2008
We were stuck on a hill and so we sledded all day
Pretended work didn't ever exist
And we laughed at all the trouble that we were in
And we watched the bold ones try to leave
Like the Land Rover on Lizzie's street
As it ping-ponged off parked cars
Before the driver abandoned all his chances at the bottom
And we drank hot whiskey apple cider
And caught the bus down to the theatre
Was the happiest busload of people alive
As we white-knuckle laughed and prayed aloud we don't die
It was this pervasive, post-war feeling
Like a bomb had dropped and folks were reeling
But the damage was snow and ice
And it become the common ground that helped us eye-to-eye
So we smiled to each other and said
[Chorus]
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas, ooh
Merry Christmas
