The Christmas Song

(Torme / Wells)

 During these sessions Elvis fooled around with Columbus Stockade Blues Find Out What's Happening, Softly As I Leave You, Father Along, Wasted Years, On Top Of Old Smokey and The Christmas Song

- Unreleased


Chesnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" 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
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
“Merry Christmas to you”
