Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizzard, Music Video, Lyrics and Review

“I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday” is a popular Christmas song in the UK, first released in 1973 by Wizzard, when it reached #4 in the singles chart, famously beaten to #1 by Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody which remained there for five consecutive weeks. As with all Wizzard songs, it was penned and produced by Roy Wood, who played most (if not all) of the instruments too.

Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Lyrics

When the snowman brings the snow
Well he just might like to know
He’s put a great big smile on sombody’s face
If you jump into your bed
Quikly cover up your head
Don’t you lock the doors
You know that sweet santa clause is on the way

(chorus)
Well I wish it could be christmas everyday
when the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be christmas everyday
So let the bells ring out for christmas

When your skating in the park
If the snow cloud makes it dark
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
Now the frosty paws appear
And they’ve frozen up my ear
So we’ll lie by the fire
Till the sleet simply knocks ‘em all the way

(chorus)
Well I wish it could be christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for christmas

When the snow man brings the snow(snowman brings the snow)
Well he just might like to know(just might like to know)
He’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face
So if santa brings that sleigh(santa brings that sleigh)
Along the milky way(along the milky way)
I’ll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
Then he may decide to stay

(chorus)
Well I wish it could be christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be christmas everyday
So let the bells ring out for christmas

Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Review

The song features the lead vocals of frontman Roy Wood but also contains backing vocals by The Suedettes as well as The Stockland Green Bilateral School First Year School, with additional noises being produced by “Miss Snob and Class 3C”, as credited on the sleeve.

Many children actually thought that Roy Wood was indeed Santa Claus as he had the white hair and beard in the music video.

With the failure of its first release to reach #1 in 1973, it was re-released in 1981 (only reaching #41) and then again in 1984, this time getting as far as #23, but no further probably due to most of the attention being drawn to such singles as Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? (Christmas #1), Wham!’s Last Christmas (Christmas #2) and Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s The Power Of Love (#1, but not for Christmas). Also Gary Glitter’s Another Rock & Roll Christmas reaching Number Seven.
