Oh it's Christmas today, everywhere they dance and play Christmas making me so gay, Christmas today As I awoke this very morning so I doubt the strangest dream In which the world was all marsh-mallow decorated with whipped cream Yes I laughed but soon I realised that my dream was very true Through the window I saw the Winter she was back with me and you Oh it's Christmas today, everywhere they dance and play Christmas making me so gay, Christmas today Now I'm waiting for Father Christmas, yes I know he'll come to me I've been kind to everybody, at least as far as I can see If he won't come I will not cry but still I'll face the truth 'Cause I know that Father Christmas has so many things to do Oh it's Christmas today, everywhere they dance and play Christmas making me so gay, Christmas today From the back yard where I'm living I can hear a lovely song It's a song for peace and freedom in which love will march along Everywhere are people dancing, no more sorrows, no more pain I can hear the church bells ringing, they're releasing us from chains Oh it's Christmas today, everywhere they dance and play Christmas making me so gay, Christmas today Christmas today Christmas today Today is Christmas Christmas today Christmas Christmas
