Lyrics / Paroles

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to... you
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 bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother¡¯s child is on the 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
Though it has been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to... you
