Mel Torme:The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fireJack Frost nipping at your noseYuletide carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and someMistletoe help to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglowWill find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his wayHe's loaded lots of toys and goodiesOn his sleighAnd ev'ry mother'sChild is gonna spy to see ifReindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering thisSimple phrase to kids fromOne to ninety-twoAltho' it's been said many timesMany ways; "Merry Christmas to you"
