SWV – The Christmas Song lyrics
(Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

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 loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry 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
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you

(They know that Santa's on his way)
(He's loaded lots of toys and goodies)
(On his sleigh)
(And ev'ry 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
Altho' it's been said
Many, many times-Many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
