[Verse 1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, dressed 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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas to you”
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
And every mother's child, oh, mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase, this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas to you, you”
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, dressed 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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas to you”

And every mother's child, oh, mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase, this simple phrase

Although it's been said many times, many ways
“Merry Christmas to you, you”
