Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song Lyrics






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 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 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 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

Nat King Cole The Christmas Song Comments
  1. M.... L....

    Thank you Rosé ❤

  2. J.... K....

    https://youtu.be/6Nm9GOAmZgk My baby Rosé made a cover of this song, her voice is so beautiful and angelic that she relaxes, they should listen to her is very good. 😔💕

  3. B.... 6....

    There was a music video for this???

  4. E.... E....

    ONE OF THE GREAT SINGERS OF ALL TIME..

  5. M.... M....

    There is no better song for Christmas

  6. C.... C....

    to kids from 1to92...this line tho..🤗🤗

  7. M.... ....

    Like si la estás escuchando en enero y extrañas la Navidad

  8. D.... C....

    his voice gives me chills my god

  9. T.... M....

    Damn smoking robbed the world of this great talent way before his time.

  10. H.... N....

    Who's here after Rosé THE CHRISMAS SONG cover?

  11. N.... B....

    So Melodic!

  12. N.... P....

    Nat King Cole does not want to wish infants or 93 year olds Merry Christmas.

  13. D.... T....

    Gucci gang gucci gang

  14. L.... R....

    January 2020 and for some reason Im listening to this song after Christmas

  15. C.... O....

    The people who disliked this video must have been watching it upside down.

  16. J.... B....

    May you rest in the most blissful part of paradise Mr King

  17. T.... �....

    Yes I'm here after Rosé covered it. I knew this song way before that though. I love the original and I'm not a narrow minded person who compares those two. I just find her cover to be of a whole different vibe. So I like them both in different ways.
    Every time I listen to songs like this, only one thing goes through my mind. Will I ever get to celebrate christmas before I die?
    Where I'm from, christmas isn't celebrated like it is around the world. The only stuff that goes down here is, people hang some lights at entrance for holiday vibes, sales at stores and it's a holiday hence it's crowded everywhere.
    I've only seen in movies, all of those tree decors, placing gifts under trees, inviting people for party, playing with snow, etc.
    I hope I get to celebrate christmas, exchange gifts with people and do all of those stuff. At least once before I die.

  18. M.... ....

    Well, the holiday season 2019-20 is over. God willing we will do it again next year. One last Merry Christmas for this go around everyone :)

    M.... ....

    Glad I'm not the only one here almost two weeks after Christmas. Cheers and Merry Christmas. :D

    Merry Christmas to you, oh yeah, ooh ohh yeah

    Merry Christmas
    Merry Christmas, oh
    Oh ooh yeah, oh yeah oh
    To, you

    Yeah, ooh oh yeah
    Merry Christmas

    RIP Nat King Cole

  34. R.... B....

    Rose's favourite xmas song

  35. �.... ....

    шикарный голос. красивая песня...

  36. a.... y....

    A voice made of silk.

    a.... y....

    It's a shame he killed it with tobacco smoke.

  37. e.... c....

    Elegant and polished but i still prefer the bing version

  38. M.... F....

    I'm see by Rosè cover

  39. M.... i....

    who is like me ..
    watches rose cover and be like "Nothing can top this!!"
    *listens to this*
    "Please forgive me and my poor judgment world" this is just heavenly. But love and appreciate rose🖤💗❤💚

  40. M.... i....

    i came here from watching a cover (by rose) but im soo astonished by his vocals and how soothing and amazing it sounds. So sad this talent left the world before i was born❤💚😭 Rip Nat king cole.

  41. a.... h....

    who else came here after listening to Rose's (blackpink) amazing cover?

  42. R.... A....

    Such a smooth and classy brotha....on the NATIONAL circuit! During a time of high racial unrest mind you!!

  43. B.... B....

    This brings smiles and tears. One of the best singers ever. Brings smiles of happier days but brings tears of those better days gone and the people that went with them. Wonderful song and singer

  44. A.... T....

    A jewel

  45. �.... S....

    *Probably almost all are blinks Deny me*

    *The Christmas Song Cóver Rose*

  46. P.... ....

    Who came here after Rosé’s cover?? Cuz I did

  47. y.... ....

    I always find a way to cry when listening to Nat. Best singer the world has probably ever seen. 😭 Him and Natalie are prospering up in the palace in the sky.

  48. y.... ....

    If I see some bias person saying Rosé sang it better than Nat, i’m going to lose a ton of faith in the younger generation.

    y.... ....

    I'm part of the younger generation too tbh (I'm 18 lol) but like.. Nat's version is MUCH better. It just has that 'feeling' you know? Like only this song could get me into the Christmas mood or make me feel happy, but Rosé's version? No thanks haha.

    y.... ....

    Adrian 00782 Yeah, for sure.

  49. y.... ....

    No one will ever touch this mans excellence and voice. This song will never be sung by anyone better. All these covers I see are filled with editing and exaggerated voices, while Nat, uses the best voice in history.

  50. L.... B....

    No one will ever sing this song better than Nat King Cole. They will never come close, for this is possibly the best voice I've ever heard.

  51. S.... ....

    Wonderful Christmas song ever

  52. D.... ....

    I don’t mind if people say they are here from rosé, but seriously, saying she’s better than Nat is so disrespectful. I love rosé but no one can outshine him

  53. J.... E....

    Who’s not here because of whoever this Rose person is, but just because they wanted to be serenaded for a little bit...

  54. R.... R....

    A Rose by any other name is still ..... well u know the rest, but she ain't NAT! And that's a fact!

  55. B.... ....

    Sorry but Rosé lo hace mejor😍

  56. I.... G....

    perfection.

  57. D.... L....

    Best Xmas song ever

  58. C.... M....

    The year this was made looks the same flipped left and right

  59. b.... ....

    Nat was one of the best .... RIP

  60. t.... v....

    So good. Thanks Nat..for everything!!!
