Ringing his bell with a Ho Ho Ho Stamping his feet and sounding his cry Wishing A Merry Christmas to everyone As a gaggle of shoppers go scuttling by
The bell sounds again and a Ho Ho Ho Sparkling blue eyes and bushy white beard Have you all been good boys and girls? He looked around as the children all cheered
The rattle of tin and a Ho Ho Ho Help those who need it! He'll bellow to all Make Christmas special for life's waifs and strays Over and over the town hears his call
The jolly red suit and the Ho Ho Ho Are all that we see as he stands on the street Wishing a merry Christmas to everyone Whilst his fingers are numb and so are his feet
Ringing his bell with a Ho Ho Ho Darkness is falling, the day's nearly done But what of the man in the Santa Claus suit? Does anyone wonder if he's having fun?
The bell is now silent. No 'Ho Ho Ho' A man settles down on a seat in the park He's nowhere to go on this bitter cold night Tomorrow he has to be up with the lark
At dawn bright and early he's back on the street Red suit and white beard, he's ready to go Smiling and jolly he's stamping his feet And ringing his bell with a Ho Ho Ho
