Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?

About this song: Merry Christmas Everybody
According to the Merry Christmas Everybody Songfacts, this was based on a psychedelic song, "My Rocking Chair," which Noddy Holder wrote in 1967. In 1973 the Slade vocalist decided to convert it into a Christmas song after a night out drinking at a local pub. He and the band's bass player and co-writer Jimmy Lea camped out at Noddy's mother's house and got down to changing the lyrics to make them more Christmassy.
