We Wish You a Merry Christmas | Christmas

“We Wish You a Merry Christmas” is a popular secular 16th century English carol from West Country of England. It is one of the few traditional holiday carols that makes mention of the New Year’s celebration.


Lyrics

1. We wish you a merry Christmas; We wish you a merry Christmas;
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Chorus:
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! (Or “Good tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year!”)

2. Now, bring us some figgy pudding; now, bring us some figgy pudding;
Now, bring us some figgy pudding and bring some out here!
Chorus

3. For we all like figgy pudding; for we all like figgy pudding;
For we all like figgy pudding: so bring some out here!
Chorus

4. And we won’t go until we’ve got some; We won’t go until we’ve got some;
And we won’t go until we’ve got some; so bring some out here!
Chorus
