    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”
    (Instrumental bridge)
    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

    To sing over Nat King Cole's originals is like painting over the Monalisa... that's the risk when we touch a masterpiece. Nat's perfection dwarfs any contribution and make it sound like unnecessary arabesques and useless decoration. Sorry John... for much as I like you, you just added noise to a diamond !!!

    I wonder if the remaining Cole sisters, Casey and Timolin, approved of this duet? I like John Legend as an artist and musician but this duet did not work. John brought nothing new or excitement to an already perfect classic song. The only other artist that blends perfectly with Nat King Cole is his daughter Natalie. Their voices just worked together magically. I wish John would attempt to do a duet with one of Natalie’s songs. Natalie was a fan of John so that might work out. I loved his duet with Aretha Franklin. John is a gifted artist and songwriter. This duet just didn’t work. It holds its on weight just as it is.

Stop trying to make classics, new times classics like Spielberg's West Side Story. Classics are classics for a reason. Don't mess with 'em (btw, eskimos is a racist term: He should sing Inuits.
