Happy Christmas, Kyoko

Happy Christmas, Julian

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 have fun / The near and the dear one, the old and the young

A very Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year / Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over) / For weak and for strong (if you want it) / For rich and the poor ones (war is over) / The road is so long (now) / And so happy Christmas (war is over) / For black and for white (if you want it) / For yellow and red ones (war is over) / Let’s stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year / Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over) / And what have we done (if you want it) / Another year over (war is over) / And a new one just begun (now) / And so happy Christmas (war is over) / We hope you have fun (if you want it) / The near and the dear one (war is over) / The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year / Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear

War is over, if you want it / War is over now

Happy Christmas!
