|
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'rymother'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".
|
(Repeat) (from 9th line)
