Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose, oh
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folk dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Oh, help to make the spirit bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Find it hard to sleep goodnight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and many goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child
Will spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly, oh

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

Merry Christmas to-
To you
