Music is a universal language

Here comes santa claus

Here comes santa claus

Here he comes, here he comes

Here comes santa claus

Here comes santa claus

Here he comes, here he comes

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause

Out jumps good old santa claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for everyone's christmas joys

Tito had just one desire

That he gets a new guitar

But he wants a guarantee

That it won't play out of key

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Down through the chimney with old st. nick

(I said) ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Down through the chimney with old st. nick

Here comes santa claus

Here comes santa claus

Here he comes, here he comes

Here comes santa claus

Here comes santa claus

Here he comes, here he comes

Jackie's almost six feet tall

But no hot shot at basketball

Bring him a basket three feet tall

Maybe he'll play like a pro

Marlon wears his shoes so thin

He's gone through his socks again

He's always dancin' as you know

(so bring me some shoes with lots of sole)

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Down through the chimney with old st. nick

(I said) ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Down through the chimney with old st. nick

Patter patter pitter patter

Pitter patter patter

Pitter patter pitter patter

Pitter patter patter

Oh dasher, dancer, prancer and vixen

Come on comet, cupid, donner and blixen

To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall

Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

Did you read santa claus my list?

All the girls you're waiting to kiss?

Mike, that list was only a joke

Too late, jermaine, he's bringing you mistletoe

But you just want toys and stuff

Yeah, but that's not even half enough

What I want means more than fun

What's that? - love and peace for everyone

Up on the house top reindeer stand

Waiting for that dear old man

Up to the chimney with gifts to spare

And lots of christmas joy to share

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Up out through the chimney with old st. nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Up through the chimney with old st. nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Up through the chimney with old st. nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Up through the chimney with old st. nick
