Chestnuts roastin' on an open fire
Jack Frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys
an' 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!
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!

with lyrics by Robert Wells, 1946
I never hear this song anymore, especially sung by himself.Mom used to tell me once in awhile how she and my grandma got to see him performing at a little bar at a casino in Las Vegas when he was just starting out. I can just bet that he looked just like he did in this picture.Merry Christmas to everyone who sees this
An almost perfect concert: Jack Jones and The Velvet Fog. An experience to recall shortly before death so one "goes" grinning , happy to meet the duo in the life hereafter.
