Lyric The Christmas Song

(Mel Torme, Robert Wells)

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 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

And so I m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one through ninety-two,
Although it s been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
