Conway Twitty & Alvin
(Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman (c)1947)

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are 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 the boys and girls again.
(Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,)
(Oh, What a beautiful sight.)
(So jump in bed, cover up your head,)
('Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.)

--- Instrumental ---

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He'll come around
When chimes ring out
It's Christmas time 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.)





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