INTRO . . . .
Chest-nuts roast-ing on an op-en fire
Jack frost nip-ping at your nose
Yule-tide car-ols be-ing sung by a choir
and folks dressed up like Esk-i-mos
Eve-ry-bo-dy knows a turk-ey
and some Mis-tle-toe
help to make the seas-on bright
Tin-y tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep to-night
They know that
San-ta's on his way
He's load-ed lot's of toys
and good-ies on his sleigh
And eve-ry moth-ers
child is gon--na spy
to see if Rein-deer
real-ly know how to fly
And so I'm of-fer-ing
this simp-le phrase -
to kids from one to nine-ty two
Al-though it's been said man-y times,
man-y ways, Mer-ry Christ-mas - to you
