(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 that turkey and some mistletoe

Helps 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 every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really knows 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 spy

To see if reindeer really knows how to fly...
