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 
Help to make the season bright  
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow 
Will find it hard sleeping tonight 
 
They know that Santa's on his way 
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh 
and ev'ry Mother's child is gonnna 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
