Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Verse 3]

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 know how to fly

[Verse 4]

So, I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Though it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

[Verse 5]

Love and joy come to you, and to you, your carol too

And God bless you and send you a happy new year

And God send you a happy

New year
