Danny Kaye Eat, Eat, Eat
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, eat
Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat
Eat, eat, eat, everybody eat
Drink, drink, drink, everybody drink
Eat and drink, eat and drink, another year's complete
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, everybody eat
Oh, eat, eat, eat, everybody eat
Drink, drink, drink, everybody drink
Eat and drink, eat and drink, another year's complete
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, everybody eat. Ah!
I went home last Christmas to visit with my folks
The house was full of voices, music, laughter, jokes
My father was older, my mother was greyer
Even so, I've never seen either of them gayer
The world is sad and so are they
But once a year I love to hear them say:
Eat, eat, eat, everybody eat
Talk, talk, talk, everybody talk
Shake hands, shake hands, another year's complete
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, everybody eat. Everybody eat
Eat, eat, eat, everybody eat
Laugh, laugh, laugh, everybody laugh
Kid around and kid around, another year's complete
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, everybody eat
Eat, eat, eat, everybody eat. Er!
Hug, hug, hug, hug the little kids
Hug and kiss, kiss and hug, tickle baby's feet
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, everybody eat. Ah!
The world is sad and so are they
But once a year I love to hear them say:
Eat, eat, eat, everybody eat
Live, live, live, everybody live
Thank God, thank God, another year's complete
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, everybody eat
