|
All through the year
|
We’ve waited
|
Waited through spring and fall
|
To hear silver bells ringing
|
See winter time bringing
|
The happies season of all
|
|
Chestnuts roasting on a open fire
|
Jackfrost nippin’ at your nose
|
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
|
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
|
|
Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistleoe
|
Will help o make he 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 going to 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
|
