| Merry Christmas from Japan |
| Walking the streets with a drink in my hand |
| And the snowfall at my feet |
| How I hope that your work has brought you some peace |
| Merry Christmas from Japan |
| Nobody here has a clue how I am |
| Oh, I wonder if you’ll ever, ever know |
| How I’ve tried to reach you, tried to reach you |
| You don’t know me |
| I threw a bottle out to sea |
| That’s a message that you’ll never, ever read |
| Washed straight back with the trash on Venice Beach |
| Merry Christmas from L.A. |
| I said I’d return but you told me to say |
| Haven’t had much luck so far |
| But I’ve been to the hills and I’ve borrowed a car |
| Merry Christmas from the stars |
| Nobody here has a clue who you are |
| Oh, I wonder if you’ll ever, ever know |
| How I’ve tried to reach you, tried to reach you (She says) |
| You don’t know me |
| I threw a bottle out to sea |
| That’s a message that you’ll never, ever read |
| Washed straight back with the trash on Venice Beach |
| Is it lonely where you are? |
| Are your feet as cold as ever? |
| As you trip the light fantastic are you fearful of the stars? |
| I guess it wouldn’t help to know |
| If I’d spent the night alone |
| I could have found a phone and called you up to say: |
| Merry Christmas from Japan |
| Merry Christmas from Japan |
| Merry Christmas wherever you are |
