(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 |
