The Christmas Song (chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire )

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the rocky mountain christmas album, and has also been released on the christmas. like a lullaby album.

all through the year
we¡¯ve waited
waited through spring and fall
to hear silver bells ringing
see winter time bringing
the happies season of all

chestnuts roasting on a open fire
jackfrost nippin¡¯ at your nose
yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up like eskimos

everybody knows a turkey, and some mistleoe
will help o make he 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 going to 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

they know that santa¡¯s on his way

although it¡¯s been said, many times
many ways
