The Christmas Song
[Intro: Eric Benét]
Merry, Merry Christmas
[Verse 1: Eric Benét]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose, well
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright, yes it will
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[Bridge: Eric Benét]
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 going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
[Verse 2: Eric Benét]
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”
[Bridge: Eric Benét]
Oh, oh, oh, Merry Christmas
Hey, hey
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge: Eric Benét]
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 going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
[Outro: Eric Benét]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright, yes
Although it's been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas, yeah
Merry Christmas, yeah yeah
Merry Christmas to you”
Merry Christmas to you
You by my side
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Oh, hey hey, yeah
Merry Christmas
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols, Eskimos
Everybody knows
