Chestnut

The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up as eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
helps to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow
will help to make the season bright

They know that Santa's on his way
he has loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to spy
to see if reindeer do really know how to fly

And so I am offering this simple phrase
for kids from one to ninety two
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.....

words and music by Mel Thorme and Robert Wells
recorded by Nat "King" Cole 1946 (re released 1960)
