Lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
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
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
So, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
'Though it's been said, many times, may ways
Merry Christmas to you
Love an 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
Christmas song
