oh, my father is dead and my mother is dead
and my sister is dead and my brother is dead
and my aunties and uncles and cousins are dead
Me---rry Christmas

oh, the neighbors are dead and the garden is dead
and the children are dead an you you're looking dead
and it looks like the angels and god are all dead
Me---rry Christmas

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

oh, our hopes are all dead and our dreams are all dead
they'd be coming apart at the seams but they're dead
so the rest of us briefly can claim we're ahead (hold)
Me---rry Christmas
