helen merrill
the christmas song
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 little 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    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"  Love and joy come to you And to you your carol too And God bless you and send you A happy New Year And God send you A happy New Year
