Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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
'Cause they know that Santa's on his way
And he's loading 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, ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Have a merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
