Lyrics:
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?
Does a-ton up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your Daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been Slade
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Anyone who was lucky enough (and now old enough) to have seen Slade in concert, will tell you what a fantastic time they had. It was always loud, it was always fun and they always made sure everyone left having had a good time. Unlike some artists of the day, they didn’t take themselves too seriously, and Noddy with that raw voice, I swear he used to swallow razor blades before each performance. 😁 Slade had so many hits - besides Merry Christmas, and well worth having a listen to some of their many songs, not just the hits, on a music app. Great rockers and powerful ballads too. Very underrated UK band. Long live Slade. 👍🏻

@@alanwhitney3263 Hi Alan. We must consider ourselves very lucky to have witnessed it. Many these days wish they had. Personally I saw them over 50 times during the same period. (not boasting) I recently found 20 tickets stubs in my Slade stuff (20 that didn’t get lost or destroyed) and have fond memories of the ‘nightclub years’ when you could easily meet or get backstage with them. Of course after Reading things were scaled up again. Did you see the video I posted of Jim at Bilston in 2017. Here’s a link: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdyBo5xls8W5qoU.html All the best. 👍🏻

A number of years ago some of the students on the T.V. production course in the college that I taught at was asked to make a short video featuring a 'famous' person. One student would act out the talent and the others would make the production. Unbeknown to the staff one of the students was related to Noddy. Apparently he just turned up and was great!
