The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) Songtext
von John Legend

All through the year we′ve waited
Waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing
And winter time bringing the happiest season of all

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, oh

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 going to 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

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
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
To you- you-you-you-you
A merry little Christmas to you
