Mel Tormé
The Christmas Song [1967 Version]
[Verse 1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, they help to make the season bright
And the tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Bridge]
They know that Santa is on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child, they are gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Verse 2]
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it has been said many times, many ways, “Merry Christmas to you”

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it has been said many times, many ways, “Merry Christmas to, Merry Christmas to you”
