Lyrics:
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 some tofu 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
                   Although its been said
                  Many times, many ways
  Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to.. You!
