[Verse 1: Anthony Hamilton]
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, their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight, whoa, oh

[Bridge: Chaka Khan, Anthony Hamilton]
Santa's on his way (He's on his way, on his way)
He's bringing 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

[Verse 2: Anthony Hamilton, Chaka Khan, Both]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase (Simple phrase)
To kids from one to ninety-two (Ninety-two)
Although it's been (So many times) many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry, Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to)
To you (You)

[Outro: Anthony Hamilton, Chaka Khan, Both]
Merry, merry, merry (Merry)
Merry, Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry, merry (Merry)
Oh, what a wonderful time of (Merry Christmas) year
Merry, baby (Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry, Merry) (Merry Christmas to you)
(Merry, Merry) (To you) (Christmas) (To you)
Merry Christmas
