Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
And yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
[Verse 2]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots 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 really know how to fly
[Verse 4]
And so, I'm offering the simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
[Verse 5]
And so, I'm offering the simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
