There Are So Many Xmas Songs

“You better watch out,

You better not shout;

You better not cry -

I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.”

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 

There are so many Xmas songs

To sing along to.

Messages of cheer and legend:

Santa land and fairy land

Bonded by a band of reindeer

Flying low to clear each household,

Santa chuckling all the way,

Rounding globe the mystery.

Package giving,

Living in the coming light -

Santa driving all the night

Never disappearing or appearing.

Every year and filled with fervour 

We still sing

About his coming.

Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas -

Another a term for Father Christmas.
