The Christmas Song

The Christmas Song

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

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 ev'ry 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 Altho' it's been said many times

Many ways; “Merry Christmas to you”
