Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime

03:44

A fost primul său single solo de la formarea lor (Wings).
La lansare, cântecul a avut succes comercial, intrând în topurile din mai multe țări, inclusiv în topurile Billboard Hot 100 și Holiday 100 în Statele Unite și în Marea Britanie, unde a ocupat locul 6 în Marea Britanie Singles Chart și a fost certificat “Gold”. Deși privită ca una dintre compozițiile mai slabe ale lui McCartney de către numeroși critici de muzică, piesa continuă să se bucure de o popularitate semnificativă în perioada Crăciunului în întreaga lume și a fost cover de numeroși artiști.

Lyrics/Versuri:
The moon is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
The party’s on
The feelin’s here
That only comes
This time of year
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
The choir of children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding ooo
Ooo ooo toot toot toot toot toot toot
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Ah don’t look down
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, dong, dong, dong, dong
