|
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 every 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 |
|
Though it's been said many times many ways |
|
Merry Christmas to you |
