 (Baxter/Moore)


G
Bring it down band
Now I just came here tonight to say
I just wanna say
I just wanna say

Merry Christmas baby, you surely treat me nice
        C                                         G
Come on Merry Christmas baby, you surely treat me nice
  D                         C              G
I feel just like I'm living, living in paradise


Now listen

Now you see, I feel real good tonight

And I got music on the radio
      C
And I feel real good tonight
                       G
And I got music on the radio

And the boys and the band are playin' pretty good
        D                            C
And I feel just like I wanna kiss you
                     G
Underneath my mistle-toe


But now listen Santa came down chimney

Half past three

With lots of nice little presents for my baby and me
C                                         G
Merry Christmas baby, you surely treat me nice
        D                   C                  G
And I feel like I'm living, just living in paradise

Come on boys
