Lyrics

Chest nuts roast ing on an o pen fire,

Jack Frost

nip ping at your nose,

Yule

tide car ols

be ing sung by a choir

and folks

dressed up

like Es ki mos.

Ev ’ry bod y knows

a tur key and some mis tle toe

help

to

make the sea son bright.

Ti ny

tots

with their eyes all a glow

will

find

it hard

to sleep to night.

They know that San

ta’s on his way;

he’s load ed lots of toys

and good ies

on his sleigh.

And ev ’ry moth er’s child

is gon na spy

to see if rein deer

real ly know how to fly.

And

so I’m

of fer ing this sim ple phrase

to kids from

one to nine ty two;

al though

it’s been said man y times, man y ways,

mer ry Christ mas,

mer ry Christ mas,

mer ry Christ mas

to

you.
