Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh
Oh, yeah
Ooh, Lord
[Verse 2]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Well, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, mmm
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Well, help to make the season bright, mmm
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[Verse 3]
They don't know it, don't you know that
Santa's on his way?
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Everybody's mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
[Verse 4]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
From kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Kwanzaa
Merry Christmas to
To all of a
You
[Verse 5]
Merry Christmas to everyone
