THE CHRISTMAS SONG
(Mel Torme / Robert Wells)
As recorded by Nat "King" Cole
Also recorded by Frank Sinatra and The Carpenters
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack
Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
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.
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
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry
Christmas to you!
