Santa Claus Is Coming

Intro

Fa-la-la, fa-la-la (oh)

Ho-ho-ho, jingle-jangle, hey-ya

Ding-dong, light the rooftop fire

Fa-la-la, ho-ho-ho (come on)

Verse

Midnight velvet and a silver street

Boot prints soft where the snow and lanterns meet

A chimney grin and a mitten left behind

A crayon map from a small child's mind

Strings of tinsel like a ribboned train

A paper star tied to the windowpane

Whistle of the wind, but someone’s on the road

Sleigh bells counting down, load by load

Pre-chorus

Keep the cookies warm, leave the milk in sight (yeah)

Hold your wish like a candle in the night (hold it)

Tiptoe close, try not to make a sound

Santa’s got the whole town wrapped around

Chorus

Santa Claus is coming, ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho)

Santa Claus is coming, sleigh bells go (sleigh bells go)

Santa Claus is coming, feel that glow (feel that glow)

Santa Claus is coming, oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)

Santa Claus is coming, ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho)

Santa Claus is coming, sleigh bells go (sleigh bells go)

Verse

Reindeer names spelled out in frosting on the pane

Rudolph winks, a single red refrain

Letters folded neat, toes tucked tight in bed

A homemade scarf hangs where the stockings spread

Silver coins and a ribbon, a secret map unfurled

Magic in the mitten, a tiny paper world

The moon hums low, the world holds its breath

Every quiet corner waits for the footsteps left

Bridge

Ho-ho, ha-ha, fa-la, fa-la (ho)

Na-na-na, jing-ji-jangle, come on (yeah)

Ho-ho-ho, slow your wishing, then release

One soft heartbeat, one soft peace

Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho)

Chorus

Santa Claus is coming, ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho)

Santa Claus is coming, sleigh bells go (sleigh bells go)

Santa Claus is coming, feel that glow (feel that glow)

Santa Claus is coming, oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)

Santa Claus is coming, ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho)

Santa Claus is coming, sleigh bells go (sleigh bells go)

Santa Claus is coming, feel that glow (feel that glow)

Santa Claus is coming, oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)

Outro

Fa-la-la, ho-ho-ho (shh)

Sleigh on the rooftop, fade away — night sings
