[Verse 1]
Hams and yams and cookies and candy
Chimes of joy and candles aglow
Hymns and carols, choirs are forming
Everywhere that you go

[Chorus 1]
Pere Noël, Pere Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
Nobody cries or tells any lies
The night that children rule the world

[Refrain]
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

[Verse 2]
Doves and kings and shepherds and wisemen
Came together, followed the star
They all gathered down in the manger
They came from so very far

[Chorus 2]
Midnight is clear, the spirits are here
Angels that guard each boy and girl
No hunger or thirst, the last will be first
The night that children rule the world
[Refrain]
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

[Verse 3]
All the greatest wishes are granted
Let us sing, let innocence reign
All the prayers are finally answered
Blessed and free of all pain

[Chorus 3]
Towers of fire rise ever higher
Magical flags will be unfurled
The power of song, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world

[Refrain]
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

[Chorus 4]
Pere Noël, Pere Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
[Refrain]
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

[Chorus 5]
Pere Noël, Pere Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are so strong
The night that the children rule the world

[Refrain]
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world

[Coda]
(When the children) Oh
(When the children)
(When the children) They rule the world
(When the children) Ooh, yeah
(When the children)
(When the children)
(When the children)
(When the children) When the children rule the world
(When the children) When the children rule the world
(When the children) When the children rule the world
(When the children)
(When the children)
(When the children)
