HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS

Here comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are 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.
Here comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
He’s got a bag that is filled with toys
For the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle-jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
Here comes Santa Claus,
Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
He’ll come around when the chimes ring out
Then it’s Christmas morn again.
Peace on Earth will come to all,
If we just follow the light.
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer,
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He’s making a list, and checking it twice,
Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you’re sleeping.
He knows when you’re awake.
He knows if you’ve been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you’re sleeping.
He knows when you’re awake.
He knows if you’ve been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!

UP ON THE HOUSETOP

Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus,
Down through the chimney with lots of toys,
All for the little ones’ Christmas joys.
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click click click!
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
First comes the stocking of little Nell,
Oh, dear Santa fill it well.
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries,
One that will open and shut her eyes.
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click click click!
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
Next comes the stocking of little Will,
Oh, just see what a glorious fill.
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks,
Also a ball, and a whip that cracks.
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click click click!
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say,
He was made of snow but the children know,
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the snowman, was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun
Now before I melt away.”
Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square,
Saying, “Catch me if you can!”
He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when,
He heard him holler, “Stop!”
For Frosty the snowman he had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying, “Don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again someday.”
Thumpity thump-thump, Thumpity thump-thump,
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpity thump-thump, Thumpity thump-thump,
Over the hills of snow!

JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow in a one horse, open sleigh.
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Oh,
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse, open sleigh, hey!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse, open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in a one horse, open sleigh.
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way. Ha-ha-ha!
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Oh,
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse, open sleigh, hey!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse, open sleigh!

JINGLE BELL ROCK

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle Bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell rock.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle Bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell rock.

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer,
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose. (like a lightbulb)
And if you ever saw it, (saw it)
You would even say it glows. (like a flashlight)
All of the other reindeer, (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names, (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph, (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games. (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say, (Ho! Ho! Ho!)
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee, (yippee!)
“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You’ll go down in history!”
(Like Columbus!)

DECK THE HALLS

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Fast away the old year passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Sing we joyous, all together
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

LET IT SNOW!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Man, it doesn’t show signs of stopping,
And I brought me some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally kiss good night,
How I’ll hate going out in the storm,
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.
And, the fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear we’re still goodbye-ing,
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow and snow!
When we finally kiss good night,
How I’ll hate going out in the storm,
But if you really grab me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.
Oh, the fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear we’re still goodbye-ing,
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS

Have a holly jolly Christmas,
It’s the best time of the year.
I don’t know if there’ll be snow,
But have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
And when you walk down the street,
Say Hello to friends you know,
And everyone you meet.
Oh, ho the mistletoe,
Hung where you can see.
Somebody waits for you,
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
And in case you didn’t hear,
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year!
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
It’s the best time of the year.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
And when you walk down the street,
Say Hello to friends you know,
And everyone you meet.
Oh, ho the mistletoe,
Hung where you can see.
Somebody waits for you,
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
And in case you didn’t hear,
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year!
