Have a minute, take a day or year
Steal a moment to shout and cheer
Just make it simple, scream it loud and clear
Always merry and bright

You may be broken, distraught and pained
But you can fall onto your feet again
There ain't no room in the dark of night
When you open a light

Change your locale and the atmosphere
Live like only the cat will hear
Forget your worries, your doubts and fears
Always merry and bright
Always merry, always bright

Throw down your bags, come down a notch
Let the beard grow, unwind the watch
It's simple, Simon, it won't take much
Always merry and bright
Always merry, always bright
