Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: Scrump Date: 22 Dec 06 - 04:59 AM "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" both mention Santa, even though he doesn't appear in the title. Are you only looking fro songs with Santa Claus in the title? In the UK, Santa Claus more often used to be called "Father Christmas". I'm not sure that's still true these days though. There was a song by the Goodies called "Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me". Dunno if this counts though? |

Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: *#1 PEASANT* Date: 22 Dec 06 - 05:29 PM I am Santa! Santa's Favorite Songs Santa Claus Is Coming To Town You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! O! 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. J. Fred Coots, Henry Gillespie (c) 1934 Here Comes Santa Claus Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the reins. Bells are ringing, children singing; All is merry and bright. Hang your stockings and say your prayers, 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! He's got a bag that is filled with toys for the boys and girls again. Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, What a beautiful sight. Jump in bed, cover up your head, 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman (c) 1947 Up On The House Top 1.Up on the housetop reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus. Down thru' the chimney with lots of toys, All for the little ones, Christmas joys. Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Up on the housetop, click, click, click, Down thru' the chimney with good Saint Nick. 2.First comes the stocking of little Nell, Oh, dear Santa fill it well; Give her a dolly that laughs and cries One that will open and shut her eyes. Ho, ho, ho! 3.Who wouldn't go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Up on the housetop, click, click, click, Down thru' the chimney with good Saint Nick. Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way! Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say: Christmas Eve is coming soon; now, you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me; tell me if you can. When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep All the stockings you will find hanging in a row Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue, and red Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best. Must Be Santa Who's got a beard that's long and white Santa's got a beard that's long and white Who comes around on a special night Santa comes around on a special night Special Night, beard that's white Must be Santa Must be Santa Must be Santa, Santa Clause Who wears boots and a suit of red Santa wears boots and a suit of red Who wears a long cap on his head Santa wears a long cap on his head Cap on head, suit that's red Special night, beard that's white Must be Santa Must be Santa Must be Santa, Santa Clause Who's got a big red cherry nose Santa's got a big red cherry nose Who laughs this way HO HO HO Santa laughs this way HO HO HO HO HO HO, cherry nose Cap on head, suit that's red Special night, beard that's white Must be Santa Must be Santa Must be Santa, Santa Clause Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) And if you ever saw it (saw it) You would even say it glows (like a flash light) All of the other reindeer (reindeer) Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio) They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) And they shouted out with glee (yippee) "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) You'll go down in history!" (like Columbus) Johnny Marks (c) 1949 Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and grandpa we believe. She'd been drinking too much eggnog, and we begged her not to go. But she forgot her medication, and she staggered out the door into the snow. When we found her Christmas morning, at the scene of the attack, she had hoof-prints on her forehead, and incriminating Claus marks on her back. Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and grandpa we believe. Now we're all so proud of grandpa, He's been taking this so well. See him in there watching football, drinking root beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel. It's not Christmas without Grandma, All the family's dressed in black and we just can't help but wonder: Should we open up her gifts, or send them back? Send them back!! Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and grandpa we believe. Nuttin' For Christmas I broke my bat on Johnny's head; Somebody snitched on me. I hid a frog in sister's bed; Somebody snitched on me. I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug; I made Tommy eat a bug; Bought some gum with a penny slug; Somebody snitched on me. Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas Mommy and Daddy are mad. I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas 'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad. I put a tack on teacher's chair somebody snitched on me. I tied a knot in Susie's hair somebody snitched on me. I did a dance on Mommy's plants climbed a tree and tore my pants Filled the sugar bowl with ants somebody snitched on me. So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas Mommy and Daddy are mad. I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas 'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad. I won't be seeing Santa Claus; Somebody snitched on me. He won't come visit me because Somebody snitched on me. Next year I'll be going straight; Next year I'll be good, just wait I'd start now, but it's too late; Somebody snitched on me. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night. She didn't see me creep down the stairs to have a peep; She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep. Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white; Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night. JT. Connor (c) 1952 |

Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: Emma B Date: 22 Dec 06 - 06:11 PM and as sung in The Royal at Dungworth during the Carol Season - Who comes this way, so blithe and gay Upon this merry Christmas day? So merrily, so cheerily, with his peaked hat and his reindeer sleigh, With pretty toys for girls and boys, As pretty as you e'er did see, Oh welcome Santa Claus's man, Kris Kringle with a Christmas tree. His sleigh bells ring, with a merry ching, As o'er the roofs the reindeers spring. Gee up, gee ho! How swift they go, Over the ice, and the drifts of snow; For he must call on one and all, His master's pretty pets to see, For welcome Santa Claus's man, Kris Kringle, with the Christmas tree. With cakes and plums, trumpets and drums, and lots of pretty things, he comes. So now be quick your places take, And all a merry circle make; For now he's near, he'll soon appear, And his jolly face you'll see, Oh, welcome Santa Claus's man, Kris Kringle, with the Christmas tree. chorus Yo, ho! Oh, ho! Yo, ho! Oh, ho! Yo, ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho, ho, ho! And jingle, jingle, jing-a-jing-a-jing Right merry shall you be, And jingle, jingle, he comes this way, He comes with the Christmas tree; And welcome, welcome, welcome Kris, Right welcome shall you be, Oh, here he is, yes, yes, he is 'Tis Kris with the Christmas tree, The Christmas tree, the Christmas tree, The Christmas tree, the Christmas tree. |

Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: GUEST,bankley Date: 24 Dec 10 - 02:07 PM I wrote one for a small musical a few years ago put on by a rehab group "Santa's Lament"... which is a story of Santa losing his memory and wondering what special day is approaching that he can't remember.. It's somewhere between 'This Christmas Tree's got no Balls', 'Why is Rudolf's Nose so Red? (juvenile wino)" and the more serious 'Homeless in Bethlehem' which is posted in the Mudcat archives... |

Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: reggie miles Date: 25 Dec 10 - 08:17 PM I posted this on the thread about favorite Christmas songs. It seems appropriate to offer it here as well. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Me and Santa, We've Got An Understandin' By Reggie Miles © 2008 Me and Santa we've got an understandin' While he's workin' in his toy shop, all year long I'll be hangin' round here, just a singin' this song Can havin' this much fun really be so wrong? Yep, me and Santa we've got an understandin' As he packs up his sleigh, full of all sorts of toys For all those good little girls and boys I'll be strummin' my guitar 'n' makin' some noise Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' Me and Santa we've got an understandin' Santa understands I'm too busy to lend a hand Each year as Christmas time draws near So, he and the elves will have to fill those toy shelves themselves Besides, I think that I'm allergic to reindeer Then on Christmas Eve, late at night When Santa and his reindeer take to the sky in flight I'll be safe on the ground, hopin' everything goes alright Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' And while he's surfing the clouds on his midnight ride With my warm cup of cocoa I'll stay inside And sit by the fire and rock and glide Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' Me and Santa we've got an understandin' Santa understands I'm too busy to lend a hand Each year as Christmas time draws near He knows I'm all thumbs when it comes to tyin' ribbon bows And besides, I think that I'm allergic to reindeer (Ah-choo!) While he's out there freezin' off his big behind Slippin' on every icy roof line I'll be chuggin' mugs of eggnog and feelin' real fine Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' When he's slidin' along on the snow and ice Makin' his list and checkin' it twice I'll be tryin' to remember if I was more naughty or nice Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' Me and Santa we've got an understandin' Santa understands that makin' sleigh ride flight plans Just gets me all weak in the knees He knows, I'm no good with heights and untanglin' Christmas lights And reindeer make me sneeze (Ahchoo!) And as he streaks through the heavens, his cheeks all rosy red I'll be nestled all toasty tucked away in my bed With visions of sugar plum fairies dancin' round my head Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' As he's stuffin' his big belly down all those chimney flues And scarfin' up his milk and cookie dues I'll be pickin' and singin' these ol' Yuletide blues Cuz me and Santa we've got an understandin' Me and Santa we've got an understandin' |

Subject: The Santa Claus Blues From: GUEST,Epp Date: 04 Sep 17 - 03:58 PM Does anyone know the lyrics to "The Santa Claus Blues" ? There are 2 recording of Louis Armstrong doing it on Youtube. One extremely slow and I've always heard it up-tempo. There are parts of it understand, and parts for the life of me I can't Seems like there are 2 different versions of the chorus(mostly how it ends). If anybody knows the verse that would be ice cream on the cake, but for now, I'd be happy to get the correct lyrics (that is, please fill in the Question Marks ! This is what I know of it and what I've heard when I heard it performed live. " No Money, No Honey, to buy a present for me. Nobody, No Toddy, to make things pleasant for me. Last night my stockin' was hung, Just like, when I was young, Woke up this mornin', there was a vacancy. No minglin', No jinglin' toys, No pickin' on chicken, ??????????. (First Time) Soon I'll hear the Christmas Chimes, That just means more hard times. ??????????? I've got the Santa Claus Blues. (Second Time) Seems like every now and then, The poor house pages me again. ??????????? I've got the Santa Claus Blues. |

Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: Nigel Parsons Date: 12 Sep 17 - 05:03 AM From elsewhere on the 'Cat: SANTA'S (REDS) BLUES Nigel Parsons 30/11/12 ttto Winter Wonderland: Felix Bernard (1897-1944) From the whole of December. There's some things I'll remember. A cute little elf Amusing himself (I'm) spending Christmas in my overalls. I'm on show in a grotto They won't let me get blotto. With cotton wool snow, And my red 'babygrow' (I'm) spending Christmas in my overalls. Last year I though I'd give this job a go, man. Spend the whole of Christmas sitting down. The grotto has some robins and a snowman And me in a bright scarlet dressing-gown. Later on I'll perspire As I sit by the fire I'm getting quite wet From the build-up of sweat Spending Christmas in my overalls Next year I think I'd rather be the snowman, With carrot nose and overalls of white. The kids don't pull the beard of Mr Snowman, But Snowman says the pay is really When it snows, ain't it thrilling, That the kids are so willing, To suspend disbelief And cause Santa grief, Playing in my Winter Wonderland? As I wait for the New Year, There'll be nothing to do here. But somehow I fear, That this time next year I'll be spending Christmas in my overalls. |

Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs From: GUEST,Jim I Date: 12 Sep 17 - 02:03 PM Jogging Along With My Reindeer (John Kirkpatrick) In the wintertime, when it‟s cold and wet and nasty, You need someone to cheer you up, so I‟ll tell you what to do, Give yourselves a party, with lots to eat and lots to drink, And then just leave the rest to Father Christmas. Chorus: Jogging along with my reindeer, up above so high, Jogging along with my reindeer, riding through the sky; And every time I pass a house with little boys and girls, I choose a present and scramble down the chimney. Now, I live on top of the world, where nobody ever can find me, It‟s cold and frosty all of the time, so I work to keep me warm, Goodwill to Men Banging about in my toy shop, with never a pause and never a stop, I have to see that things are ready for Christmas. Chorus: Now, when Christmas comes around, I harness up my reindeer, I load my sleigh, and I‟m on my way a-singing through the stars, I pick out your roof when you‟re fast asleep, And down to your bedroom I do creep, I‟ll fill your stocking and wish you a merry Christmas. Chorus: Now, some people they will say that there‟s really no such person, They watch the telly, they read the news, and they don‟t care nothing of me; „Cause I never let anyone see me, but if you‟re good, now REALLY good, Then perhaps one day you might just hear me singing. Chorus: |
