162. CHRISTMAS SONG 1945 |
\nCHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE.
\nJACK FROST NIPPING AT YOUR NOSE.
\nYULE-TIDE CAROLS
\nBEING SUNG BY A CHOIR,
\nAND FOLKS DRESSED UP LIKE ESKIMOS.
\nEVERYBODY KNOWS, SOME TURKEY
\nAND SOME MISTLETOE,
\nHELP TO MAKE THE SEASON BRIGHT.
\nThe Beatitudes Campus Sing-Along Song Book
\nTINY TOTS WITH THEIR EYES ALL AGLOW
\nWILL FIND IT HARD TO SLEEP TONIGHT.
\nTHEY KNOW THAT SANTA\u2019S ON HIS WAY.
\nHE\u2019S LOADED LOTS OF TOYS AND
\nGOODIES ON HIS SLEIGH.
\nAND EVERY MOTHER’S CHILD IS GONNA SPY,
\nTO SEE IF REINDEER REALLY
\nKNOW HOW TO FLY.
\nAND SO I\u2019M OFFERING THIS SIMPLE PHRASE,
\nFOR KIDS FROM ONE TO NINETY-TWO.
\nALTHOUGH, IT’S BEEN SAID
\nMANY TIMES, MANY WAYS,
\n\u201cMERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
