lyrics

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer, pullin on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin', all is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys for boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed and cover your head, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor, he loves you just the same
Santa Claus knows we're all God's children
That makes everything right
So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when chimes ring out that it's Christmas morn' again
Peace on Earth will come to all if we just follow the light
So let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeers pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Up on the house top, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
(Oh-oh-oh)
Oh, who wouldn't go? (Oh-oh-oh)
Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with the good St. Nick
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Ol' dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that can open and shut its eyes
(Oh-oh-oh)
Who wouldn't go? (Oh-oh-oh)
Who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
Look in the stocking of little Bill
Oh, just see what a glorious fill
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks
(Oh-oh-oh)
Who wouldn't go? (Oh-oh-oh)
Who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
