Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

So hang your stockings and say your prayers

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

[Verse 2]

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

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 5]

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
