The Christmas Song

====================

Lyrics by Mel Torme





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 ev'ry 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

Altho' it's been said many times

Many ways; "Merry Christmas to you"
