The Christmas Song
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
The fire is lit and the chestnuts are being roasted on it. It's one of the signs that Christmas is here.

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
The cold winter air and frost can sometimes feel like it is biting away at your nose.

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Everyone is in the festive spirit, spreading cheer through the beautiful selection of carols that the choir is singing.

And folks dressed up like Eskimos
The cold weather outside demands for everyone to dress up warm and cozy, like wearing an Eskimo jacket.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Turkey is a popular dish served at Christmas dinner and mistletoe is hung to create seasonal ambiance.

Help to make the season bright
All these festive symbols and rituals bring light to the dreary winter season.

Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Little children are filled with excitement and awe, their eyes sparkling with wonder at the magic of Christmas.

Will find it hard to sleep tonight
The anticipation of what Santa will bring makes it difficult for children to fall asleep.

They know that Santa's on his way
Children around the world are eagerly looking forward to Santa Claus' arrival.

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Santa has been busy creating and collecting presents to be delivered across the globe on Christmas Eve.

And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
Every child, no matter their background or upbringing, will anxiously look for signs of Santa Claus.

To see if reindeer really know how to fly
One of the most magical qualities that makes Santa Claus memorable to children is that he flies his sleigh with his reindeer.

So I'm offering this simple phrase
This message is a simple one that is meant to convey warmth and cheer during the holiday season.

To kids from one to ninety-two
This joyful message is for everyone, young and old alike.

Although' it's been said many times, many ways
Even though this message has been said in different ways throughout time, it still remains relevant today.

"Merry Christmas to you"
May your Christmas be full of love and happiness, wishing you all the best during this festive time of the year.

Love and joy come to you
May you feel loved and filled with joy throughout the holidays.

And to you your carol too
Wishing you all the best for your singing and songwriting endeavors.

And God bless you and send you
May you be blessed by the divine force that governs the universe.

A happy New Year
Wishing you all the happiness in the upcoming year!

And God send you
May your life be filled with divine blessings and light.

A happy New Year
Wishing you a year full of joy and prosperity!
