The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

(Mel Torme/Robert Wells)

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
Can help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

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 smile
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

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

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 smile
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, oh
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
To you

Mmmmm...
