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
