Check for snipping at your nose
Intended: Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
Other “misheard lyrics” from this song:
Chipmunks roasting on an open fire,
(or) Jeff’s nuts roasting on an open fire,
Check for snipping at your nose;
You’ll tide carols being sung by the fire,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey, handsome Mr. Soul
Help to make the season bright;
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
From The Christmas Song, by Mel Torme and Bob Wells
