The Christmas Song (Chesnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

Joe Diffie


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 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
