The Christmas Song (Live At The Apollo Theater/1963)

Merry Christmas to you

I'd like to do now a song for you that's fitting for the season that we're having now

And I hope you enjoy it

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

Folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Helps to make the seasons bright, yeah

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa Claus is on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies in his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

So I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two, yeah-yeah

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas, everybody

Ah, thank you
