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

Will help to make the season bright

And tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight



They know that santa on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sliegh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if the reindeer know how to fly

And 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
