Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The toys gave a party for Poppa Santa Claus
And it was the party of the year
They all brought a present for Poppa Santa Claus
And he grinned from ear to ear

There was brand-new harness' for the reindeer
New jingle bells for the sleigh
And they all wished him a Merry Christmas
And the Toyland band began to play

And the North Pole rocked with laughter and applause
When the toys gave a party for Poppa Santa Claus
Ho ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho
Oh ho
Oh ho, ho ho ho ho

The wooden soldiers marched around the room
The big bass drum went boom-de-boom-boom-boom
And jolly old king cole put down his pipe and bowl
And joined the other dolls and danced the polka

The gingham cowboy rode his rockin' horse
And tried to rope an Indian of course
But when the circus clown put on a ladies gown
They laughed so hard the chandelier fell down

The toys, they gave a party for Poppa Santa Claus
And it was the party of the year, ho ho, the party of the year
They all brought a present for Poppa Santa Claus
And he grinned from ear to ear, how he grinned from ear to ear

There was brand-new harness' for the reindeer
New jingle bells for the sleigh
And they all wished him a Merry Christmas
And the Toyland band began to play

And the North Pole rocked and rocked with laughter and applause
When the toys gave a happy little party for Poppa Santa Claus

The toys gave a party for Poppa Santa Claus
And it was the party of the year, ho ho, the party of the year
They all brought a present for Poppa Santa Claus
And he grinned from ear to ear

And the North Pole rocked and rocked with laughter and applause
When the toys gave a party
They gave a pretty little party for




They gave a party
For Poppa Santa Claus
