(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 spy <  just this one word is changed. 

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...
