Written by Robert Wells and Mel Tormé
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 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 tune
to kids
from one to ninety-two.
Although it’s been said
many times,
many ways:
Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas
to you.
