Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
'Cause Christmas is coming again
He's got a sleigh full, it's not gonna stay full
He's got stuff to drop at every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
He'll be here with the answers to the prayers
That you made through the year
You'll get yours, if you've done
Everything you should, extra special good
He'll make this December one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
Oh Mr. Cringle, he's soon gonna jingle
On the bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
He's got a sleigh full and it's not gonna stay full
Got stuff that is dropping every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
He'll be here with the answers to the prayers
That you made through the year
You'll get yours, if you've done
Everything you should, extra special good
He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waiting, they're all congregating
Waiting for the man with the bag
Waiting for the man with the bag
Merry Christmas
