Hey America it's Christmas time
Hey America it's Christmas time
All year long you've been given me the peace sign
What did what happened at the present time
Right now I see more than a million peace signs
No more
Hey America don't you think its about time
After more than a billion of the peace signs
For me to start coming your way
And people to start the common mind
Let's meet don't you think its about time
For after more than a million of the peace signs to start coming your way
And you got common mind
You got, yeay
Let's play it together
Let's be together
America
I mean you and you and you
Let's start another year together
Right back when you were free
Even a man I'll never see
Let's be together
Let's be together
Love one another
Hey America it's Christmas time
God gave us something let us celebrate it
Quit cryin God gave us something let us celebrate it
Let us celebrate it
Hey one mind
Hey, hey"
Hey America! huh
Don't you think its about time
Well after more than twelve months
A billion peace signs
Some say right the others say straight ahead
Right on straight ahead
After half a million straight ahead
Tiger sits straight ahead
Hey Danke sch?
Huh, hey!
This is the United States you know
Everybody lets do it together
Hava Nagila
Huh, hey, hey!
Volaré
Volaré, volaré, hey
