Merry Christmas Baby

You sure did treat me nice
Yeah, merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice
Give me all this good lovin' for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine, yeah
I've got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got some good music on my radio
Well, I'm gonna kiss you baby
While you're standing underneath the mistletoe
Santa came down the chimney about a half past three
Left all these pretty, pretty presents for you and for me
So merry Christmas baby
You sure been good to me
Oh, I haven't had a smoke this morning
Sweetheart, but I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Oh yeah, merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice
Oh yeah, merry Christmas baby
You sure did treat me nice, oh yeah
Give me all this good lovin' for Christmas
And now I'm living in paradise
Oh, merry Christmas baby
Merry Christmas Baby
