'The Christmas Song' (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) (instrumental) – The Merstona Orchestra
m.l. Mel Tormé, Robert Wells
Performed by The Merstona Orchestra
Conducted by D'Arby Stakes
Produced by Richard Longley at The Studio at the End of the Universe

lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping on your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like ......

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