Christmas, John, and I see you strolling in

Ascot Garden with your wife, Yoko, but well

Do you have any special thoughts for Christmas?

[John Lennon]

Well, Yoko, it is Christmas and my special thoughts

Of course, turn towards, eating

[Yoko Ono]

Alright so eating, well, what do you like to eat?

[John Lennon]

Well, I'd like some cornflakes

Prepared by Parisian hands

And I'd like it blessed by Hari Krishna Mantra

Have a jolly new year

Make sure that Christmas

Comes once a year

Yes, Happy New Year, all the best

Ooh, good evening to you ladies

Good evening to you gentlemen

Happy to be here,

Good evening to you one and all

I hope you will enjoy

The coming sports day of our life

Is mama's little boy

[Yoko Ono]

So, how do you like the garden here?

[John Lennon]

I think it's simply splendid

I'm overwhelmed by its sanctuary

[Yoko Ono]

So, you don't mind these, high gates and things and the walls

[John Lennon]

Oh, I've always loved the high walls

The Elizabethan high wall is something I've always loved

You see

[Yoko Ono]

Yes

Has a very happy time at Christmas

And has a good, fortunate, lucky New Year

Merry Christmas

Mm, this is to wish you a me-merry, merry Christmas

This is to wish you a ha-ha-happy new year

[John Lennon]

How do you see your place in the, uh

The seventies to come, we've had the swinging sixties

And I was wondering, Mrs. Lennon

How you saw your place in the seventies?

[Yoko Ono]

I think it'll be a quiet, peaceful seventies, hopefully, you know

[John Lennon]

So you think there's gonna be peace, do you?

[Yoko Ono]

Yes, and freedom

[John Lennon]

I see

[Yoko Ono]

Freedom of mind and everything

[John Lennon]

I see

Really nice

[Yoko Ono]

Everybody will just be flying around, you know

[John Lennon]

Ah, everybody will just be flying around, you see

D'you understand that?

[Yoko Ono]

The air's so crisp and all that

And just, there's something about it, very delicate

[John Lennon Singing]

Deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night

On the misty cruel

Good King Wenceslas last look out

On the feast of

[Yoko Ono]

And it's sort of, ah, like a strange magic, you know

Just slowing down, the process of our thinking

Anyway, it's just really beautiful

Alright, dear, you pass me the light

And I'll stick it on the tree

[John Lennon & Yoko Ono]

I'd like a big teddy!

I'll get you a big, pink teddy bear

Oh, thank you, mummy

And be a good boy, John

Oh, yes, mummy, I will

As long as you get me a teddy bear

A big, pink teddy bear

And a train set

American train set then

And a man on the moon that goes on the moon and down to the moon

An ice cream moon then

That's right

And lots and lots and lots and lots

And lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and

Lots
