Subject: RE: Santa Claus songs
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.
