Slade - Merry Xmas everybody

GLAM-ROCK CHRISTMAS

En las Navidades de 1973 el grupo británico de glam-rock Slade alcanzó el número 1 por sexta vez en las listas de su país con Merry Xmas everybody, canción compuesta por su cantante y guitarrista Noddy Holder y el bajista Jim Lea. Con más de un millón de copias, fue el single más vendido del grupo de Birmingham y, de largo, el mayor éxito de su carrera. Desde entonces no ha dejado de reeditarse y, con el tiempo, se ha convertido en uno de los temas navideños más populares en el Reino Unido.

Merry Xmas everybody (lyrics)

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer
Does a ton-up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day.

So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.

Are you waiting for the family to arrive
Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside
Does your granny always tell ya
That the old songs are the best
Then she's up and rock and rolling with the rest.

So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.

What will your daddy do when he sees
Your mama kissing Santa Claus
Ah ah aah

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made
When you land upon your head
Then you've been slayed.

So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.

So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.

So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
(It's Christmas!)
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
