Mel Tormé
The Christmas Song
[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
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
Help to make the season bright, oh, oh
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Bridge: Howard Hewett]
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: Howard Hewett]
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 to you
Hey, hey, hey

[Instrumental Break with Stevie Wonder harmonica solo]

[Bridge: Howard Hewett]
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 3: Howard Hewett]
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, mhm
Merry Christmas, oh
Merry Christmas to you

[Outro: Howard Hewett, Stevie Wonder]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So Howard, hope that works okay for you in the celebration of the holiday season, Christmas time, yeah, yeah, yeah. Peace. God bless you
