The Christmas Song Lyrics

The Christmas Song

(Mel Torme, Robert Wells)

 

 Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

 Jack Frost nippin' 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 through ninety-two,

 Although it's been said many times many ways

 Merry Christmas to you
