The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to you)

Nat King Cole

written by Mel Torme and Robert Walls



- (#3-1946)



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'rymother'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 its been said many times,

Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you".

(Repeat) (from 9th line)
