Paul Mccartney Wonderful Christmastime

“Wonderful Christmastime” is a Christmas song by English musician Paul McCartney. Recorded during the sessions for his solo album McCartney II (1980), it was released in November 1979 following Wings’ final album Back to the Egg earlier that year. It was McCartney’s first solo single since “Eat at Home” in 1971. “Wonderful Christmastime” has charted within the top 10 in Austria, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom as well as the top 20 in Canada, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland. The track is regarded as one of McCartney’s weaker compositions by numerous music critics. It has been covered by numerous artists.

“Wonderful Christmastime” was added as a bonus track on the 1993 CD reissue of Back to the Egg and on the 2011 “Special Edition” and “Deluxe Edition” reissue of McCartney II; a longer, unedited version was also included on the Deluxe Edition. The track was also mixed in 5.1 surround sound for inclusion on the 2007 DVD release The McCartney Years.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The moon is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

[Chorus]
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

[Verse 2]
The party’s on
The feeling’s here
That only comes
This time of year

[Chorus]
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

[Bridge]
The choir of children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding

[Chorus]
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

[Verse 3]
The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
And don’t look down

[Chorus]
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmas time

[Bridge]
The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

[Verse 4]
The party’s on
The spirit’s up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

[Chorus]
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

[Verse 1]
The moon is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

[Chorus]
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

[Outro]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh Christmas time
