Letra de
The Christmas Song Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire

A canção The Christmas Song, também conhecida como Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, foi escrita em 1945 por Bob Wells e Mel Tormé durante uma onda de calor como uma tentativa de ficar frio ao pensar em coisas frias. Em apenas 40 minutos, a canção que evoca fortemente o espírito do Natal foi completada, e Nat King Cole foi o primeiro a gravá-la.

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 fall asleep 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 it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

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 it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
