The Christmas Song 
(Chestnuts Roasting...)
Written by the classic jazz singer Mel Torme in 1944
at the age of 19

Click HERE if you can't hear the midi

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire 
Jack Frost nipping on 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 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 going to 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 to you
