[Verse] Snowflakes falling on the streets Friendly faces can't be beat Say Merry Christmas Loud and clear But oh no There's trouble near [Verse 2] Wish a neighbor joy and cheer Spread some love and peace this year Happiness on every face Till the cops come Such disgrace [Chorus] Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho Spreading love out in the snow But in the U.K Don't you say You might be jailed on Christmas Day [Verse 3] Lights are twinkling Bright and gay Carol singers Night and day Shout out greetings Full of cheer Then the sirens Oh so near [Verse 4] See the bobbies In the square Handcuffs jingling Half a pair Merry Christmas? Is that hate? Down to the station You can't wait [Chorus] Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho Spreading love out in the snow But in the U.K Don't you say You might be jailed on Christmas Day
