Lyric The Christmas Song

(Mel Torme/Robert Wells)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletidecarols 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 mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it s been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas, merry christmas
Merry christmas to you
