(War is over if you want it
War is over now)

[Verse 1]
And so this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
With your old and your young

[Chorus]
And so Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Verse 2]
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich ones and poor ones (War is over)
Our freedom so young (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
For blacks and for whites (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fights (Now)
[Chorus]
A Merry, Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Verse 1]
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
And look what we've done? (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
I hope you had fun (If you want it)
Your near ones and dear ones (War is over)
Your old and your young (Now)

[Chorus]
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Outro]
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
