Lou Rawls The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You) Lyrics

[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
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
They help to make the season bright
And the tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Bridge]
They know that Santa is on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child, they are gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Verse 2]
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it has been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas to you”

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it has been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas to
Merry Christmas to you”
