Temptations, The - Christmas Song Lyrics






Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide songs 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 will want to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
For kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas to you.
They know that Santa's on his way

Temptations, The Christmas Song Comments
  1. E.... C....

    That damn Edwards can go my God!

  2. c.... D....

    This song is a classic.

  3. I.... A....

    2019 still banging this every Christmas 💯

    I.... A....

    Isaiah Amos me too! This song still works its magic on me!

  4. R.... R....

    One of the rare times that Otis sang lead.

    R.... R....

    Richie Rich No, Otis’ version, although nice, was on the 1970 album with Eddie’s version of Silent Night. Not taking anything from the often unappreciated and much maligned Otis Williams who not only started the group but sustained it during the rough times and kept the fellas together as much as he could. Although his voice was not as dynamic as the others, he has the backing voice that blended with the others that gave the group that angelic harmony!

    R.... R....

    This is Dennis Edwards

  5. S.... R....

    I'll always love this device as a friend indeed

    Grew up to this every year. When this album came out my mom bought it and it was in our Christmas rotation. Now it's in mine. RIP Mom and Happy Heavenly Holidays ❤️💓

  7. D.... M....

    Sounds good with a different soulful spin to it, but it can’t touch the all time classic by the great Mr Nat King Cole.

  8. N.... S....

    Hearing this now at 23 reminds me of going to my great aunts house every summer as a child and every thanksgiving. She had all of their albums and played their respective ones during the seasons.

    oh man, I am a millennial and I remember my Dad would play this at Grannies when I was tiny; and this was played yesterday at my Cuzzies cookout from her graduation and I immediately thought I was like 6 or 7 again! I researched when this album came out. I wasn't any where near born, this just shows the timeless good qualities of this album. Wish our music was like this,....
    thanks for this upload.
