Fitzgerald, Ella - 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

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, merry Christmas to you

    How 234 people don't like this music is unbelievable. Ella is an American institution.

  21. B.... B....

    The best. She is turning over in her grave at these ANIMAL RAPPERS. What a disgrace to mankind.

    Happy Christmas guys

    does anyone know who's playing sax on Let It Snow! ?

  24. J.... S....

    In "let It Snow", when I heard the tenor saxophone, I thought "Sonny Rollins?", but the internet will not answer me. Does anyone know who the saxophonist is?

    J.... S....

    me too!

    J.... S....

    The accompaniment is by the Frank De Vol orchestra. Stan Getz was on some other dates with this orchestra, but I've also not found the answer to your question.

    J.... S....

    @Elle Thank you.

    Beautiful! Christmas everybody! 🎄❤️🎁

  29. R.... T....

    She didn't write her own songs though...... From a fed up Elvis fan.

    R.... T....

    I'm sure there's an Elvis Christmas Classic channel you can enjoy😁

    R.... T....

    @D. Hughes I like Ella Fitzgerald, just making a point, Elvis gets criticised for not writing his own songs. Never heard that criticism for anyone else.

    R.... T....

    @Raymond Turner that's cool

  30. B.... C....

    Oh and who can sing like this

  31. C.... G....

    Just lovely

  45. Z.... D....

    Unmistakable. Unforgettable. The indelible, incredible, ALL my fondest holiday memories tied up in a bow - Ms. Ella Fitzgerald🎄🤶🏾🎅🏻💞

  46. D.... ....

    She sings Christmas songs better than pretty much any artists. Frank Sinatra is up there with her. But so few I can stand to listen to! She was amazing.

  47. B.... F....

    Glad I saw Ella F concert and Oscar Peterson in London, back in the 80s

  48. B.... W....

    It's not Christmas without Ella

  53. C.... D....

    Merry Christmas 2019!! <3

  54. B.... ....

    I met Ella Fitzgerald when I was 10. That was 41 years ago, and I treasure the memory. She was doing a concert in Tulsa, and we went to her "rehearsal". Her voice was a revelation. I had never heard such a beautiful voice, ever. Even to this day, I haven't heard another voice that compares to this Grande Dame of Jazz. What a great Christmas gift her music is! Thank you for sharing!

    B.... ....

    Ella DOB is 4/25/1917 - 6/15/1996. I think you should recalculate. RIP Lady Ella Miss Sassy!!!!

    B.... ....

    @Lorna Gray I met her in 1977 or 1978. Why recalculate?

    B.... ....

    @Lorna Gray "Ella Fitzgerald performs at the opening of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center on March 19, 1977." please research before accusing someone of lying.

    B.... ....

    Got it: ' I was 10' I misread when you met her!!!!

  55. C.... T....

    Put me in such a wonderful mood. Thank you Queen Ella!

    I once was a love Christmas bit until I found out the whole truth about it I don't think u will too.
    YaHuWaH showed me the truth first of all YaHawasHi came in my Father's name YaHuWaH not Jesus Christ because j was not a letter in the alphabet until the 1500's.
    Then the cannites that remain in Yisrael convinced some of them to worship their god saturn to get whatever they wanted right through the year but the poor's could not pay up the sacrifice their babies and this being looked like who u would know as father time which u may have notice he would carry the weapon that the grim reaper would have in Jeremiah 10:1-10 talks don't pluck out a tree and hammer it down and decorating a tree with purple (the red blood and blue like veins and silver ( the intestines)
    Then the next truth th a t they hidden from us is that there is a evil being that put coal in the bad children stocking that their parents would put out to dry by the fire place this evil being had 12 grupmus and the child that got this coal while the truth is it scary.

    S.... C....

    @Robin Holbrook dont go to the Greeks for they also apart of covering up think out if the boxes that they want to put u in with religious beliefs.
    YaHuWaH called into a spiritual walk with him, walk is relationship.
    U will hear from YaHuWaH with a that inside of u.

    S.... C....

    @Shelly Chaitram Praise Yahuwah but your late Beloved that's how I came to know Him through Spirit no one ever witnessed to be about Yahushua HaMaciak I had what I call now a miraculous conversion and I worship Him in Spirit and Truth and He knows my heart whether I say Yahuweh or Yahuwah. That said with your correction I went and studied it out as we should all study to show thy self approved and I came to the conclusion that Holy Sprit is a He thats scriptural but because there are so many scriptures that allude to female of wisdom to Holyspirit I went with Yahuwah Amen. Also if I might add in love when you are correcting someone please give a link to the information on that subject. I can go to scriptures and find what I'm looking for but someone else might not know

    S.... C....

    @Robin Holbrook I love how u type but I am so guided by the Holy spirit that I forget the physical things at times. Thank u for your great feed back and have a blessed sabbath

    S.... C....

    @Shelly Chaitram Shalom beloved

    Magnífica combinación la grandiosa voz de Ella Fitzgerald y la mas bella música universal de navidad. Poderosa invitación al amor celestial y fraterno

    D.... Q....

    I have unsuccessfully trying to trace the name of the Englishman who in a BBC programme in 70s described Ella as the best musical instrument that God had made. I love that description. It was so apt that it stuck to my memory ever since.
