1. We wish you a merry Christmas; We wish you a merry Christmas;

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Chorus:

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! (Or "Good tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year!")
2. Now, bring us some figgy pudding; now, bring us some figgy pudding;

Now, bring us some figgy pudding and bring some out here!

Chorus
3. For we all like figgy pudding; for we all like figgy pudding;

For we all like figgy pudding: so bring some out here!

Chorus
4. And we won't go until we've got some; We won't go until we've got some;

And we won't go until we've got some; so bring some out here!

Chorus
