Lyrics
Happy holiday (happy holiday)
Happy holiday (happy holiday)
While the merry bells keep ringing
Happy holiday to you (happy holiday)
(Happy holiday)
It’s the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming ’round
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He’ll be coming down the chimney, down
(He’ll be coming down the chimney, down)
It’s the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
Santa’s a great big bundle of joy
When he’s coming down the chimney, down
(When he’s coming down the chimney, down)
He’ll have 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
It’s the holiday season (the holiday season)
So hoop-de-do and dickory dock
And don’t forget to hang up your sock
‘Cause just exactly at twelve o’clock
He’ll be coming down the chimney, down
(He’ll be coming down the chimney, down)
He’ll have 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
It’s the holiday season (the holiday season)
So hoop-de-do and dickory dock
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
Happy holiday
(Happy holiday) Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
Happy holiday to you
