Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Let It Snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I’ve bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! When we finally kiss goodnight, How I’ll hate going out in the storm! But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake
He’s making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I’m telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town. Santa Claus is coming to town.
He sees you when you’re sleeping

You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.
Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!
White Christmas I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten, and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
