The Christmas Song
[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 from head to toe
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help us make the season bright, yeah
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two (One to ninety-two)
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help us make the season bright (So bright)
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two (One to ninety-two)
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
