I wish I had written this song but I grew up hearing it every year at Christmas time. It's a seasonal staple and I performed the entire track from memory. I still don't have a copy of the original.

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 a 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 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
