The Christmas Song Lyrics - Dolly Parton

(Mel Torm/Robert Wells) 

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 missletoe 

Help to make the season bright 

Tiny tots with eyes all aglow 

Who 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

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

And so I'm offering this simple phrase 

To kids from one to ninety-four 

Although it's been said many times, many ways 

Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas to you
