The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) Songtext
von Bobby Womack

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, yeah
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 reindeers 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

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 knows that Santa′s on his way
Bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother′s child is gonna spy
To see if riendeers 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
Wanna say it again, merry Christmas to you
