[Chorus]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to... you
[Jermaine Jackson]
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)
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 on the 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
Though it has been said many times, many ways
(Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas to... to you)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you)
To you (Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you)
And you too
(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh)
Oh, Merry Christmas...to you
(Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you)
(Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you)
Merry Christmas (Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...)
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to... you
