The Christmas Song

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]

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

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]

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

[Verse 3: Robert Lamm]

They know that Santa's on his way

(Santa's on his way)

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh (Lots of toys)

And every mother's child is gonna spy

(Mother's child)

To see if reindeer (To see if reindeer) really know how to fly-y-y

[Verse 4: Robert Lamm] (Bandmates)

So I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two oh

Although it's been said many times many ways (Although it's been said many times many ways)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

To you!

Merry Christmas

Yeah
