The Christmas Song
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose (yeah)
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 loading lots of toys and many goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly (yeah)

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase (yeah, yeah)
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Yeah, and so, I'm offering this simple phrase (oh, whoa)
To kids from one to ninety-two (yeah, yeah)
Although it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, yeah




Merry Christmas (oh no)
Merry Christmas to you

Even though Justin's voice has changed throughout the years he's always been an incredible singer! His distinct tone on his voice and falsetto give me chills🔥

Danielle Giddens

I agree

Zachary Calgher

Me too he can give Michael Jackson a run for his money if MJ was still alive today.

Benjamin

He proved us so wrong. He's not just another pop star of a decade. He is a great singer.

Lauren Johnston

@jailun675 there is no auto tune in this just the back round music. That’s all him singing and I would know as I’ve grew up hearing his voice since I was 10 I’m now 20 :)
