"Happy X'Mas (War Is Over)" is a 1971 Rock song originally performed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir. In 1996, Bratt Sinclaire produced an Eurobeat version of the song, performed by Clara Moroni under the alias Suzy Lazy. This cover was first released that same year in the album Super Euro Christmas. Simultaneously, at the same time, it was included together with other two songs: "Peace & Love For Christmas" by Marko Polo and "Silent Night" by the Delta Queens; in a vinyl maxi-single by Delta,. In that release the song was miscredited as "Happy Christmas".
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
A very merry Christmas
And Happy New Year
Let's hope its a good one
Without any fear.
[Verse 1]
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
[Chorus]
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
[Verse 2]
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
The rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The road is so long (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)
