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 

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow 

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 ev'ry mother's 

Child is gonna spy to see if 

Reindeer really know how to fly 



And so, I'm offering this 

Simple phrase to kids from 

One to ninety-two 

Altho' it's been said many times 

Many ways 

Merry Christmas to you
