Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer 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

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 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 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 reindeer pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing children singing all is merry and bright
So jump in bed and cover up your head cause Santa Claus comes tonight

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
So let's give thanks to the Lord above cause Santa Claus comes tonight
