Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
 Jack Frost nipping at your nose
 Yule-tide 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 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 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!
