Nat King Cole

 - (#3-1946)



      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'rymother'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

      Although it's been said many times,

      Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you".

      (Repeat) (from 9th line)
