Chestnuts roasting on an open fire   Jack frost nipping at your nose   Yule-tide 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 to you.
