Happy Xmas (War Is Over) Lyrics John Lennon & Yoko Ono

Happy Christmas, Kyoko
Happy Christmas, Julian

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The road is so long (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let’s stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Christmas!

Kyoko and Julian, mentioned at the beginning of “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”, are Kyoko Cox, the daughter of Yoko Ono and Anthony Cox, and Julian Lennon, the son of Cynthia Powell and John Lennon.
This song didn’t chart when it was released for the first time in the USA in 1971. The UK release on 1972, though, reached number four.
This track was included on the 1975 “Shaved Fish” album. Its cover had one line of the lyrics wrong: it was printed “The world is so wrong” although the actual line is “The road is so long”.
