Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming 'round
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
And when old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
[Verse 2]
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and little boy
And he's such a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
[Verse 3]
He's got a big fat pack on his back
And lots of goodies for you and for me
So leave a peppermint stick for Old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree
[Verse 4]
It's the holiday season
With a whoop-de-do and hickory-da
And don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney down
[Verse 5]
He's got a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and for me
So leave a peppermint stick for Old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree
[Verse 6]
'Cause its the holiday season
With a whoop-de-do and hickory-da
And can't forget the part with the sock 'cause
Just exactly at twelve o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down
[Verse 7]
Whoa, he's coming
Coming down the chimney, down
Hehe, I know that guy
Thats Santa, that's who that is
And he's a'coming
[Verse 8]
'Cause its the holiday season
