All through the year



We've waited



Waited through spring and fall



To hear silver bells ringing



See winter time bringing



The happiest season of all







Chestnuts roasting on an open fire



Jackfrost nippin' 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 of 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 going to 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







Repeat (*)







Repeat (**)
