John Lennon, Happy Xmas (War is over)


Happy Christmas, Kyoko
Happy Christmas, Julian
So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Another year over, 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
For weak and for strong,
(War is over if you want it)
For the rich and the poor ones,
The road is so long.
(War is over now)
And so happy Christmas for black and for whites,
(War is over if you want it)
For the yellow and red ones,
Let’s stop all the fight.
(War is over 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
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 have fun
(War is over if you want it)
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young
(War is over 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!
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas!
(War is over if you want it)
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young
(War is over 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
