Christmas Song (Live)

Mel Tormé, Robert Wells

[Verse 1]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Yule– Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

[Verse 2]
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

[Outro]
Anyway they would insert Latin into these folk carols to, um
Raise, inject some spirituality into it
Which of course interrupted the flow
Anyway, this song—
That is called macaronic text
Which I assume came from a fellow named Macaroni
Who ran through arches in small towns in France
Chased by little children with spoons wanting their Spaghetti-O's
I don't know
