Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire Lyrics

Written by: Mel Torme & Robert Wells



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

Although its been said many times many ways

Merry Christmas to you



Instrumental Break



And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety two

Although its been said many times many ways
