[Verse 1: Patrick Lloyd]
So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Fifty years over, a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas, I hope you had fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young

[Chorus: Patrick Lloyd]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Verse 2: Patrick Lloyd]
And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong
For the rich and the poor ones, the road is so long
And so happy Christmas for black and for whites
For the yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight

[Chorus: Patrick Lloyd]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

[Verse 3: Holly Royle & Patrick Lloyd]
And so this is Christmas and what have we done?
(War is over if you want it)
Another year over, a new one just begun
(War is over if you want it)
And so this is Christmas, we hope you had fun
(War is over if you want it)
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
(War is over now)
[Chorus: Patrick Lloyd]
A very merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
