(Mel Torme & R. 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 bringing 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 wish
To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
