The Christmas Song
The Gospel Keynotes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide 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
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 it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Warm, toasty chestnuts being cooked on an open flame
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
The cold winter air causing a tingle on one's nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
Beautiful holiday songs sung in harmony by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
People covering themselves in warm clothing to protect against the winter chill
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Traditional holiday items everyone is familiar with
Help to make the season bright
Adding joy and cheer to the holiday season
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Excited young children with eyes full of wonder
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
Too excited to fall asleep
They know that Santa's on his way
Children anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Santa has filled his sleigh with lots of gifts and treats
And every mother's child is gonna spy
Children eagerly looking out to see if Santa is arriving
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
Wondering if Santa's reindeer can really fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
Sharing a heartfelt message
To kids from one to ninety-two
For everyone, young and old
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Even though it's a common message
Merry Christmas to you!
Wishing you a joyful and happy holiday season
