The Christmas Song
Sinatra & Crosby Lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
The aroma of chestnuts being cooked over a fire fills the air

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
The cold winter air is causing a slight stinging sensation on your nose

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
A choir is singing festive songs about the holiday season

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
People are bundled up in warm coats and hats, like those worn by Eskimos in cold climates

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
It's a well-known fact that turkey and mistletoe are traditional parts of the holiday season

Help to make the season bright
These festive decorations and foods contribute to the cheerful and bright atmosphere of the season

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Children are filled with excitement and wonder, their eyes shining with anticipation

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They're so excited about Santa's impending arrival that they'll struggle to fall asleep

They know that Santa's on his way
Children are aware that Santa is coming soon

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Santa Claus has packed his sleigh with lots of toys and treats for children

And every mother's child is gonna spy
All children, regardless of their gender or age, will sneakily try to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus

To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
They're eager to see if the reindeer will magically lift Santa's sleigh off the ground and fly him through the night sky

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
I'd like to share this uncomplicated message with you

To kids from one to ninety-two
This message is meant for people of all ages, from young children to the elderly

Although it's been said many times, many ways
This sentiment has been expressed in many different languages and through numerous traditions

Merry Christmas to you!
I wish you a happy and joyous Christmas!
