Текст песни The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) - Ricky Nelson

(Mel Torme)

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 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 ev'ry 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
Altho' it's been said many times many ways
"Merry Christmas to you..."
