JO DEE MESSINA - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open lyrics

rate me

(Mel Torme/Robert Wells)

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

Can help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow

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 < just this one word is changed.

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

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 smile

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two, oh

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

To you

Mmmmm...
