Hey, the old man's back in town

He's spreadin' cheer around

He's come a long, long way

With his reindeer and his sleigh

He's bringing lots of toys

For all good girls and boys

So spread the news around

Yeah the old man's back in town 



He's been waitin' all year long

Just to bring his gifts to you

All the elves and Mrs. Claus 

Have been waitin' all year too

Now they're hookin' up his reindeer

And they're loadin' down his sleigh

So take my advice you best be nice

'Cause the old man's on his way 



Hey, the old man's back in town

And the tree is all a glow

Every Christmas song they know

And the kids are all in bed now

With Santa on their mind

So the scene is set and you an bet

He'll show up anytime
