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
to you.”
