Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
[Verse 1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols bein' sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
[Verse 2]
Every, every, every, every, everybody knows, yeah
A turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
The little bitty babies with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[Verse 3]
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer truly know how to fly
[Verse 4]
And so I'm offering this very simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, me too
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas right there to you, yeah
[Verse 5]
Yeah
So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
A Merry Christmas to you, yeah
[Outro]
Have yourself a merry, a very, very merry, merry
Merry Christmas
Yeah, merry Christmas
Have yourself a merry, a very, very merry, merry
Would you do that?
Yeah
[Outro]
Have a Merry Christmas
Have yourself a merry, a very, very merry, merry
Merry Christmas
To you
Have yourself a merry, a very, very merry, merry
Merry Christmas
