The Christmas Song
~ Merry Christmas
To You
~ 1953
Version
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 will 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 an' 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 Merry Christmas to you!
