Verse 1

  Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.     Jack Frost nipping at your nose.     Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,   and folks dressed up like Eski - mos   every - body...

Verse2

... knows a turkey and some mistletoe     help to make the season bright.     Tiny tots with their eyes all a - glow   will find it hard to sleep to - night.

Bridge

They know that San - ta'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.

Verse 3

  And so I'm offering this simple phrase     to kids from one to ninety - two.   Al - though it's been said many times, many ways   Merry Christ - mas   to you!
