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 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 this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to, to you, baby
Oh, my love
[Verse 5]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, what I'm talking 'bout is Merry Christmas
Oh, Merry Christmas to you
[Verse 6]
No, baby, don't say a word
Just let me love you
Like I've always wanted to love you, girl
I know it's cold outside
But we got this fire right here inside
Right next to us here, baby
[Verse 7]
I know it's cool
If I touched you like you want me to touch you right now, girl
Oh, I ain't playing now, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, that you're next to me
Feeling this next to you, gotta be next to you, hey
