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 it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you


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 it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
