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 of poor

For he loves you just the same

Santa knows that we're God's children

And that makes everything right

Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Instrumental verse

Here comes Santa Claus

Right down Santa Claus Lane

He'll come around when the chimes ring out When 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

Peace on earth will come to all

If we just follow the light

Let's give thanks to the Lord above

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Let's give thanks to the Lord above 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

A song, a song High above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know? In your palace wall, mighty king Do you know what I know? A child, a child Shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace people everywhere Listen to what I say The child, the child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light

But you can do the job when you're in town Later on, we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman Until the other kids all knock him down When it snows, ain't it filling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland
