Here Comes Santa Claus

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen, Blitzen, all his reindeer
Pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing,
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say a prayer,
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Riding 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,
What a beautiful sight
Jump in bed and cover up your head,
Because Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Riding down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy,
He loves you just the same
Santa knows that we're God's children,
That makes everything right
Fill your hears with Christmas cheer,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Well, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Riding 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
Let's give thanks to the Lord above,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
The song "Here Comes Santa Claus" by Gene Autry and Oakley Haldeman is a classic Christmas tune that captures the anticipation and joy of Santa's arrival. The song starts with Santa Claus making his way down Santa Claus Lane with all his reindeer pulling on the reins, and children singing and bells ringing in excitement. Santa's bag is packed with toys for good boys and girls, and he doesn't care if you're rich or poor because he loves everyone the same. Santa is aware that we're all God's children, and thus everything is right.
The song emphasizes that Christmas isn't just about receiving gifts, but also about spreading cheer, joy, and kindness. The songwriters have created a beautiful image of children hanging their stockings, saying a prayer and going to bed, eagerly waiting for Santa to arrive. The final verse suggests that peace can come to Earth if people follow the light and give thanks to the Lord above, making it clear that the song has religious undertones.
