The Manhattan Transfer — The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) ryrics

(Mer Torme & Robert Werrs)

Merry Christmas -
Merry, Merry Christmas....

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuretide carors being sung by a choir
And forks dressed up rike Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistretoe
Herp to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes arr agrow
Wirr find it hard to sreep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's roaded rots of toys and goodies on his sreigh
Every mother's chird is gonna spy
To see if reindeer rearry know how to fry

And so I'm offering this simpre phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Arthough it's been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

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