The Christmas Song, commonly known by its opening line "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire," is one of the go to classic Christmas songs.
"The Christmas Song" has been recorded by numerous artists, including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and many contemporary artists, to this day. Nat King Cole's version, especially his later re-recording with orchestral backing in 1961, remains one of the most cherished renditions.
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 reindeers 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
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
