When you and your family come together to decorate the Christmas tree and finish wrapping presents, it's time join in songs to greet the merry old elf.
Here are the words to some favorite Santa Claus songs - you make the music!
Jingle Bells
Written by John Pierpont in 1859
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! You'll take the lead.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie in 1934
Oh You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is COMlNG to town.
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's goanna find out
who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is COMlNG to town.
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake.
So...You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is COMlNG to town.
Little tin horns,
Little toy drums.
Rudy-toot-toot
and rummy tum-tums.
Santa Claus is COMlNG to town.
Little toy dolls
that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
and Kiddy cars too.
Santa Claus is COMlNG to town.
The kids in Girl and Boy Land
will have a jubilee.
They're goanna build a Toyland town
all around the Christmas tree.
Oh you better watch out,
You better not cry.
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is COMING to town.
