TING-A-LING-A JINGLE
Words and music by Vaughn Horton, ©1951.
As recorded by the Ames Brothers.

CHORUS: Sing ting-a-ling-a jingle and hold me so tight.
Sing ting-a-ling-a jingle and kiss me goodnight.
Icicles on the window and snow on the ground—
Sing ting-a-ling-a jingle till Santa comes round.

1. On the night before Christmas when Santa is near,
All the children to dreamland will soon disappear,
But there's one little darlin' who won't close an eye
Till you call for the sandman with this lullaby: CHORUS

2. You can rock them to sleep ev'ry night of the year
Till the night before Christmas when yule-time is here.
They can fill you with laughter and then make you cry,
But your tears turn to gladness with this lullaby: CHORUS

3. It's the same the world over in all baby-land,
For a smile is the language we all understand.
You can pet them or scold them; your patience they'll try,
But they turn into angels with this lullaby: CHORUS
