The Christmas Song

Nancy LaMott


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 tote with thur eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonigth

They know 
That Santa's on his way
And he's got lost of toys
And many 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 simples phrase
To kids 
From one to ninety-two
Although it's been said 
Many times, many away
Merry Christmas to you
