[Verse 1: Obie Benson]
As we're all gathered here
Getting ready for some Christmas cheer
With you and mom and dad
And grandma is coming, too
And I am looking forward to
Mistletoe and kissing you
And all the love and joy it brings
Having Christmas here with you
It's cold outside, but I feel warmer than a summer night
'Cause deep in my heart I know
The time has come again
To be with all my family
As we gather around the Christmas tree
All the love and joy I see
Having Christmas here with you
[Interlude: Obie Benson, Aretha Franklin, Children]
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, love
There's my Uncle Bill, my sister Jill, and my cousin Syl
(Santa Claus is coming)
What a great day
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to thе newborn king
Chestnuts roasting on an open firе
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
(Merry Christmas)
[Outro: Obie Benson, Choir]
We're all gathered here
Getting ready for some Christmas cheer
With you and mom and dad
And grandma is coming, too
And I am looking forward to
A mistletoe, kissing you
And all the love and joy it brings
Having Christmas here with you
It's cold outside, but I feel warmer than a summer night
'Cause deep in my heart I know
The time has come again
To be with all my family
All gathered around the Christmas tree
And all the love and joy I see
Having Christmas here with you
I am looking for to
The mistletoe and kissing you
All the love and joy I see
Having Christmas here with you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
I am looking forward to
The mistletoe and kissing you
