It´s been a long and lonely year
But the big man´s comin´, sack full o´ cheer
He´s got his boots on and his big red hat
He got presents that he gonna dispatch
You can relax

The jolly fat man is back

Well, he don´t like to complicate
Don´t read the papers or join debates
He can put a smile back on your face
Make sure there´s room inside your fireplace
You can relax
The jolly fat man is back

Well, everybody needs a holiday
Wouldn´t you if you´d been ´round the whole world in your sleigh?
Coming down your chimney and that´s no mean feat!
I think you can forgive him if he overeats

We´ve all been livin´ underground
But when Christmas morning comes back around
Hold on tightly to the one that you love

Cos here´s the moment we´ve been dreaming of
You can relax
The jolly fat man has come back

Oh, everybody needs a holiday
Wouldn´t you if you´d been ´round the whole world in your sleigh?
Coming down your chimney and that´s no mean feat!
I think you can forgive him if he overeats

We´ve all been livin´ underground
But when Christmas morning comes back around
Hold on tightly to the one that you love
Cos here´s the moment we´ve been dreaming of
You can relax, the jolly fat man has come back
The jolly fat man has come back
The jolly fat man has come back
The holly jolly fat man is back
