George Strait
"The Christmas Song" lyrics

The Christmas Song

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 phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
To you

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
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
To you
