The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) Written by: Mel Torme and Robert Wells Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by the choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows A turkey and some mistletoe Can 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 loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly So I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from 1 to 92 Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you 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 going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly So I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from 1 to 92 Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you (Merry Christmas)
