Here Comes Santa Claus
Jan Garber And His Orchestra Lyrics


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 are pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin', all is merry and bright
Hang your stockings 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, what a beautiful sight
Jump in bed, cover up your head, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor, for he loves you just the same
Santa knows that we're God's children, that makes everything right
Fill your hears with the Christmas cheer, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when chimes ring out, then it's Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all, if we just follow the light
Fill your hears with the Christmas cheer, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight

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




Let's give thanks to the Lord above 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Tonight, tonight
