Once a year in the middle of December
Santa Claus comes around
Bringing gifts all the kiddies will remember
Pleasing everyone in town
He'll bounce and bump,
he's so doggone plump
As he goes his merry way
He shouts and sings, oh, the joy he brings
If you listen you'll hear him say
Hang up your stocking
Hang up your stocking
Hang up your stocking on Christmas Eve
'Cause Santa Claus is on his way
Alright, alright
Let me tell you something
Boys and girls, here's something to remember
Fifty-two weeks of the year
If you're not good and if you're not tender
Santa's sure to hear
Get ready for bed, he'll be coming soon
On a sleigh with reindeer too
And just before you settle down
You better be sure that you
Hang up your stocking
Hang up your stocking
Hang up your stocking on Christmas Eve
'Cause Santa Claus is on his way
Hang up your stocking
Hang up your stocking
Hang up your stocking on Christmas Eve
'Cause Santa
'Cause Santa
'Cause Santa is on his way
