| Once a year in the middle of December
|
| Santa Claus comes around
|
| With gifts and things all the kiddies will remember
|
| Pleasing everyone in town
|
| He’ll bounce and bump, he’s so doggone plump
|
| As he goes his merry way
|
| He shouts and sings for the joy he brings
|
| If you listen you’ll hear him say
|
| Hang up your stockin', hang up your stockin'
|
| Hang up your stockin' on Christmas Eve
|
| 'Cause Santa’s on his way
|
| So boys and girls here’s something to remember
|
| Listen to me through the year
|
| If you’re not good and if you’re not tender
|
| Santa’s sure to hear
|
| Get ready for bed, he’ll be coming soon
|
| With a sleigh of reindeer too
|
| And just before you settle down
|
| You better be sure that you
|
| Hang up your stockin', hang up your stockin'
|
| Hang up your stockin' on Christmas Eve
|
| 'Cause Santa’s on his way
|
| Hang up your stockin', hang up your stockin'
|
| Hang up your stockin' on Christmas Eve
|
| 'Cause Santa’s on his way |
