Lyrics[]
Mm, ooh, yeah, yeah
Mm, oh yeah
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
Will help to make the season bright
And 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 every 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, ooh, yeah
Though its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you, ooh, oh yeah, ooh, oh yeah
They know that Santa's on his way, he's on his way
He 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
And so I'm offering this s-, this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two, ooh, yeah, oh
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ooh
Oh yeah, to you, oh yeah, ooh, yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Mm, mm, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Merry Christmas
