Sesame Street Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you see
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeer's really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I am telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
You may not believe this but
He is making a list and checking it twice
Going to find out who is naughty and who is nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Your town and my town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you are wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I am telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Believe me I'm ready for him
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
The song "Hare Calor" is from the popular children's show Sesame Street. The song is performed by a boy and a girl named Rosalita who live down the block from each other. They both have a crush on each other but are too shy to talk. The song shows their attempts to start a conversation by talking about the hot weather. The lyrics are a mix of English and Spanish, showcasing the bilingual nature of the show.
The song is a fun and playful way to teach children about basic Spanish phrases and words. It also highlights the importance of communication and breaking out of one's shell to make new friends. The use of music and lyrics makes it easier for children to retain and learn the new words and phrases.
Interestingly, "Hare Calor" was featured in a season seven episode of Sesame Street titled "Let's Play School." The episode was directed by Jon Stone, who also co-wrote the lyrics to the song. The music was composed by Joe Raposo, who wrote many of the songs for Sesame Street, including the theme song.
