Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
The Tractors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling down
Well you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town
Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

Hang up your pretty stockings
And turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground




Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

Overall Meaning

The Tractors's song Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town is a classic Christmas tune that originated from the 1934 original version by John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillespie. The Tractors's version adds a bit of a rockabilly twist to the song, making it sound more upbeat and energetic. The song talks about the Christmas season and how Santa Claus is coming to town, which is always a special time for kids and adults alike. The snow is falling on the ground, and Santa is in a big black Cadillac, not a sleigh with reindeer or a sack on his back.


The lyrics emphasize the importance of being good, as Santa Claus is watching and checking his list twice. The song also advises to hang up pretty stockings and turn off the light for when Santa comes down the chimney. The lyrics create a joyful atmosphere and the repetitive use of the phrase "Santa Claus is back in town" and "it's Christmas time pretty baby" make it a catchy tune that one can easily sing along to.


Line by Line Meaning

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
It is currently the festive season, my dear


And the snow is falling on the ground
The white, powdery precipitation is descending upon the earth


Well you be a real good little girl
Behave yourself in a positive and cooperative manner, young female


Santa Claus is back in town
The gift-giving, jolly character known as Santa Claus has returned to the area


Got no sleigh with reindeer
I do not possess a large vehicle pulled by magical creatures


No sack on my back
I am not carrying a large bag over my shoulder


You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac
I will be arriving in a large, black automobile


Hang up your pretty stockings
Place your attractive hosiery on display


And turn off the light
Make the room dark by discontinuing the illumination


Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight
The man in red will descend into your abode via the chimney this evening
