The Christmas Song Lyrics

Ray Conniff The Christmas Song

One is a spirit of Christmas

It is the celebration of the birth of the Christ child!

This we will never forget!

Oh, this we will never forget!

But there are other little things too!

Yes, there are other little things too!



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

Although its been said many times, many ways:

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you! Merry Christmas to you!

To you!

Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New Year!

To you!
