We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We Wish You a Merry Christmas is a popular secular sixteenth-century English carol from the West Country of England. The origin of this Christmas carol lies in the English tradition where wealthy people of the community gave Christmas treats to the carolers on Christmas Eve such as 'figgy puddings' that were very much like modern day Christmas puddings. It is one of the few traditional holiday carols that makes mention of the New Year celebration. The song is often parodied. It is sung by The Cast of Phineas and Ferb in Phineas and Ferb Holiday Favorites.

Lyrics
All:We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy new year

Phineas: We wish you the best day ever

And hope all your Christmas endeavors

Are super-fun, amazing, and clever

And that your New Year's rocks, too

Isabella: Oh, come tell me what'cha doin'

All my relatives just flew in

From Mexico and Jerusalem

For the holidays

Both Christmas trees and menorahs

It can be confusing for us

When we break into a chorus

Of "olé" (iOlé!) and "oy vey" (Oy Vey!)

Major Monogram: Good missions I'll give

To Agents A through Z

Carl, get away from that punch bowl

I'm saving that for me

Carl : Sorry, sir...

We wish you a Perry Christmas

We wish you a Perry Christmas

We wish you a Perry Christmas

And a (Perry chitters) new year

Baljeet: I wish for a calculator-

Slash-Hindi-English translator

To find a common denominator

In both of my tongues

Buford: Good wedgies I'll give

To all of you nerds

That's how I say "Merry Christmas"

I ain't good with words

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz: I wish you would let me rule you

In evil I'm going to school you

I won't sugarcoat or fool you

Your New Year's looks grim

I warn you, my new -inator

Will force you to serve me later

So why not just choose to cater

To my every whim?

All: We wish your every endeavor

Makes this the best Christmas ever

And we're all so glad that we will never

Mention figgy pudding...

Dr. Doofenshmirtz speaking: Oh, great. Well now we've mentioned it.

Major Monogram speaking: You know, no one would have noticed if you'd have just kept your mouth shut.
