The Christmas Song (Chestnuts) Songtext
von Dianne Reeves

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
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 bringing 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′

Santa's on his way
He′s bringing 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, how to fly


Oh, oh, oh, 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'
