The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

John Michael Montgomery


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
Helps 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 to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

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 to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

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
