about
Following the world's longest lockdown in Melbourne Australia, Miss Chess wrote, what is being hailed as the 'Catchiest Christmas Song of this Last Decade', as a musical gift for one of her twin girls - who during lockdown had an emotional meltdown saying “Oh Mummy, it’s too hard not being able to see our friends or go anywhere! This year we all need more Christmas than ever!”.
...and so this Christmas extravaganza - with 'more Christmas than ever' ... was born!
Note from the artist - Miss Chess:
"If you know someone anywhere around the world also feeling and experiencing the difficulties that COVID has brought, especially with how it has impacted so many aspects of our lives - think about sending them a special musical present of this Christmas song as a heartfelt gift wishing them a few minutes of fun, joy and 'escape' to lighten their spirit during this holiday season."
lyrics
Happy Jolly Very Extra Merry
Fa la la la la la la lala
Faa La la la la la
Parapum Parapum Ooh ooh ooh
Ring a ling - Ting a Ling – Here the Jingling…
Here’s to the story when we made it through
One of the craziest times that History knew!
Listen now – hear – the sleigh bells a ringing
Children laughing - people singing.
Fa la la la la la la
Forget your troubles this year, and double-down on the cheer
Chorus
Happy Jolly Very Extra Merry…
Some got sun and Some got snow - but
The skies more blue when your friends all show up
Super Joyful - and Extraordinary!
It wont matter if you’re big or small
Come old and new friends – One and all
(For a)
Happy Jolly Very Extra Merry (Super) Christmas!
Verse
All the kids in bed try to stay awake,
As stars are shining bright
There’s presents and a tree
And noises up the chimney
Who could it be in the middle of the night?
On the roof – Can you hear – There’s the Jingelling
Chorus
Happy Jolly Very Extra Merry
Some got sun and some got snow - but
The skies more blue when your friends all show up
Super Joyful and Extraordinary!
Come old and new friends – One and all
(for a)
Happy Jolly Very Extra Merry (Super) Christmas!
VERSE 2:
There are stories round the table
As music fills the air
You laugh till you cry and you eat too much
And you Dance all night like you don't have a care!
Ring a ling – Ting a Ling – Ring a ling – Ting a Ling
Chorus
Happy Jolly Very Extra merry…
Some Got Sun and Some got snow but
The skies more blue when your friends all show up
Super Joyful and Extraordinary!
It wont matter if you’re big or small
Come old and new friends – One and all
(for a)
Happy Jolly Very Extra Merry (Super) Christmas!
Repeat Chorus
