Lyrics for Song: The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)
Lyrics for Album: Songs For Christmas [2010]



One is a spirit of Christmas


It is the celebration of the birth of the Christ child!


This we will never forget!


Oh, this we will never forget!


But there are other little things too!


Yes, there are other little things too!





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 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


Although its been said many times, many ways:


Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas to you! Merry Christmas to you!


To you!


Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New Year!


To you!
