[ti:the christmas song]
[ar:nat king cole]
[offset:500]
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 can help to make the season bright
And tiny tots with their eyes all a glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He's loaded 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

And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two (whoa oh)
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
