The Christmas Song
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire


Chest-nuts roast-ing on an op-en fire,
Jack Frost nip-ping at your nose,
Yule-tide car-ols be-ing sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Es-ki-mos.

Ev-'ry-bo-dy knows a tur-key and some mis-tle-toe_
Help to make the seas-on bright.
Ti-ny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep to-night.

They know that San-ta's on his way;
He's load-ed lots of toys and good-ies on his sleigh
And ev-'ry moth-er's child is gon-na spy_
To see if rein-deer real-ly know how to fly.

And so, I'm of-fer-ing this sim-ple phrase
To kids from one to nine-ty-two.
Al-tho' it's been said ma-ny times, ma-ny ways;
"Mer-ry Christ-mas to you."
