Who took the merry
out of Christmas
People all over the
world forgot about merry.
Their too busy fighting wars,
trying to make it to Mars.
Searching for light,
but can't seem to find the right star.

Who took the merry

People all over the
world forgot about merry.
Too busy buying toys,
learning 'bout Santa's joys,
making believe he
was just another baby boy.

So I'm saying let's
put the merry back in Christmas.
Let me show you how.
(let's have a happy, happy new year)
Let's put the merry back in Christmas,
(we wish you a merry christmas)
ain't no better time than now.
Let's have a happy,
let's have a happy new year.

Who took the merry
out of Christmas?
People all over the world
forgot about merry.
Too busy having fun,
partying with everyone.
Showing no respect
for Mary's baby son.

So I'm saying let's put
the merry back in Christmas
