Basque Carol
Come home
Come home, come home to where you belong,
Have some chestnuts, sing a song,
Spending Christmas, over at Mom and Dad's,
In the way that we always do,
You'll see old Dad, a-laughing his head off,
And good old Mom'll be bubbling too,
Turn that chestnut roaster over, just a little bit,
Chestnuts roasting in the fire,
Chestnuts roasting in the fire,
Snap, crackle, pop, ping, boom!
Let's all have a Merry Christmas Eve.
