the christmas song

all through the year we've waited

waited through spring and fall

to hear silver bells ringing

and winter-time bringing

the happiest season of all

chestnuts roasting on an open fire

jack frost nipping at your nose

yule-tide carols being sung by a choir

and folks dressed up like eskimos

everybody knows a turkey

and some mistletoe

will help to make the season bright

and 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 every 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

although it's been said

many times

many ways

merry christmas

merry christmas

merry christmas to you
