Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
In days of auld lang syne
Oh ooh
Merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice, oh ooh yeah yeah
Said uh, merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice, oh ooh
You gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise, oh oh
I'm, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
(Yes you do child)
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music, music on my radio, oh
Well I, I wanna kiss you baby
While we're standing underneath the mistletoe
Santa came down the chimney
About a half past three
Left all these pretty presents
That you, that you see before me, ohh
Merry Christmas baby, merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me, ohh, oh ooh
Well I, I haven't had a drink this morning
But I'm, I'm lit up like a Christmas tree
Christmas tree, ohh ooh oh, ohhh yeah
Oooh yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh ooh
Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah
(Dr. John:)
St. Nick came down the chimney
About a half past three
He left all these pretty presents
That you see before me
Merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me
Haven't had a taste this morning
But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Oh, oh, oh ooh, oh ooh
Merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me
Oh ohh, oh ohhh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah oh
Sure been good, to, to, to me
Hey ooh oh hey
