Linda Ronstadt
"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
Will 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

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose

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
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
To you

Merry Christmas to you
