An Open Fire Songtext

von Johnny Mathis

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
Can 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

(Shoo be do whop do)

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 to you

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

(Shoo be do whop do)

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
