It's Christmas morning and Daddy's snoring as we sneak down the stairs
Outside it's snowing, our tree is glowing, there's magic in the air
To our surprise, before our eyes, there's presents everywhere
He hasn't forgotten to fill our stockings with Apples and Oranges and Pears
Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait
Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate
Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that momma makes
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful day
There's carolers singing and church bells ringing everywhere today
Uncles and cousins and kin by the dozens droppin' by to say
Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait
Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate
Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that momma makes
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful day
Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait
Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate
Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that momma makes
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful day
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful
Yes what a wonderful
Oh what a wonderful day
