[ Featuring Sarah Gibson, Biondys ]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like EskimosEverybody 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 tonightThey 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 flyAnd 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
I got Charlie Brown on the TV, family, friends, all around me
Feelin' the love surround me, like the lights around the tree
Needles falling off the tree, they falling on the wax
Cracked open a bottle, it's a bottle of peppermint schnapps
It's a Kodak, picture perfect, picture this with me, won't you?
Sitting in this warm room, full of people - guess what? They all adore you
Sit back and turn the TV down, so your dad can inform you
Of the shit that he's seen, and all the stuff that he been through
All the love he's seen, and the people he met
All those that he's known, and those you have to meet yet
The work he put in for you to get where you are
Makes you remember, god damn, he's the reason you got this far
Then the doorbell rings, you tell your dad you'll be back
You open up and suddenly all your little cousins attack
The kids of their kid's kids, you can't count them up 'before they're in
You see that aunt you ain't seen in years, and you gotta ask her "Hey, how you been?"
They know that Santa's on his way
Your uncle comes in, carrying collard greens for the potluck
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
He asks you, "How's college life going?", it's going just fine
And every mother's child is gonna spy
As everybody settles down, the table begins to be set
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
Have I painted you a picture that's vivid enough yet?
And so we're offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
This one's for you
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
