Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you

[Verse 2]

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 3]

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 4]

You know that Santa's on his way

He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is on the spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Verse 5]

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two'

Though it has been said

Many times, many ways

[Verse 6]

Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas to you

(And you too)

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Merry Christmas to you (And you too)

(Merry Christmas to you)

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas to you
