Gene Autry Lyrics
"Here Comes Santa Claus"

(Gene Autry, O.Haldeman (c) 1947)

(Spoken:)
Speakin' of Christmas spirit,
Each year, out in Hollywood, California,
They have what they call the Santa Claus parade
A few years ago, while I was riding in this parade
I saw smiles on thousands of faces
Both young and old alike
Waitin' for a look at that most popular man all over the world
I can hear 'em shoutin' now
Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus

(Sang)
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and 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 boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle
Oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed, and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when chimes ring out
It's Christmas time again
Peace on earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
So let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
So jump in bed, and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Peace on earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
So let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
So let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
