(written by Mel Torme & Robert Wells)
verse 1
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
verse 2
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
bridge
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 gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
verse 3
And so, I'm offering this simple song
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!
verse 2

verse 3
Merry Christmas to you!
