Merry Xmas Everybody Lyrics
It's the time when every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer
Does a ton upon his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside
Does your grannie always tell ya
That the old songs are the best
Then she's up and rock 'n' rolling with the rest
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
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 bin slayed
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Everybody's having fun (It's Christmas)
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
'Sleighed'
In my opinion, the best Xmas song ever. Fairytale of New York is also brilliant, but this just has the edge. I think this is mainly because it gives me so many happy memories of my youth, and of singing and dancing to it with friends at my school's Christmas disco's. Wonderful, innocent times.
I want to add that my personal thought on the last line before the final chorus is a pun/play on words possibly a triple-play.
My first assumption is that the word should be "sleighed" rather than "slayed", and coincidentally a third meaning being "Slade" since that's the name of the band that originated the song. In the end though all three meanings can apply but the main meaning being "sleighed" since it's a Christmas song and those often incorporate sleigh into the theming, and if you fill on your head then you would coincidentally be slayed by a sleigh.
Just came here to comment sleighed, slayed, Slade lol - all of the meanings work
