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



Ev'rybody 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 can 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"
