(Mel Torme/Robert Wells)
|
|
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
|
Can help to make the season bright
|
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
|
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 < just this one word is changed.
|
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
|
|
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 smile
|
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
|
|
Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase
|
To kids from one to ninety-two, oh
|
Although it's been said many times, many ways
|
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
|
To you
|
|
Mmmmm...
