Song Lyrics

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
Will 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 going to 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, ooh ooh yeah
Though its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you, oh yeah, ooh ohh yeah

They know that Santa's on his way, he's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to 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, yeah oh
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, yeah yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, oh
Oh ooh yeah, oh yeah oh
To, you

Yeah, ooh oh yeah
Merry Christmas

Mel Torme, Robert Wells
