|
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
|
Helps 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
|
And he's got lots of toys
|
and many 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
|
