加拿大法裔天后［席琳狄翁］──傳統流行／輕爵士聖誕抒情曲──［The Christmas Song／聖誕之歌］

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 a-glow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santas on his way

Hes loaded lots of toys

And goodies on his sleigh

And every mothers child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know

How to fly

And so Im offerin this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety two

Although its been said

Many times many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And so Im offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety two

Although its been said

Many times many ways

Merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

To you
