Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
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 little 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]
So, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
[Verse 5]
Love and joy come to you, and to you, your carol too
And God bless you and send you a happy new year
And God send you a happy
New year
