The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire)

It's official...I'm now a Sheryl Crowe fan. I would have gotten on board a long time ago if she'd had horns the times I listened to her. Oh well, she has them now!
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 every 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 Although it's been said many times Many ways Merry Christmas to you
