the christmas song merry christmas to you

Nat King Cole

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)
