I know this is not a trad. song, and I'm not asking that the lyrics be posted if that's not appropriate for Mudcat, but can someone email me the lyrics (w/chords?) if you know them? [This is a Christmas song Kay Starr recorded in, I think, the '50's.]

Thanks,

Genie

Looks like this might be it.

The Man With the Bag

written by Dudley A. Brooks, Hal Stanley, and Irving Taylor
recorded by Vonda Shepard on the album "Ally McBeal: A Very Ally Christmas"


Oh Mr. Kringle, is soon gonna jingle,
The bells that'll tinkle all your troubles away
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag,
'Cause christmas is comin' again.

He's got a sleighfull, that's not gonna stay-full
He's got stuff to drop at every stop on the way
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag,
'Cause christmas is comin' again.

He'll be here,
With the answers to the prayers that you made through the year
You'll get yours
If you've done everything you should, extra-special good.

He'll make this December, the one you'll remember,
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again!

They're all congregatin'
Waitin' for the man with the bag!

Better watch out now!
