"The Christmas Song" lyrics - CHARLIE DANIELS BAND

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
All help to make the season bright
And those tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Bridge:]
They know that Santa's on his way (On his way)
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh (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
For kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"

[Outro:]
They know that Santa's on his way (On his way)
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh (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
For all you kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you"
