The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You) (1953 Version)

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

will help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow

will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys

an' 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 to you!

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

Merry Christmas . . . to you!
