Santa Claus is Feeling Kind of Down


I have it on good authority that even Santa is struggling this year with the Holiday Blues. If you know the song about him you know that this is true. I know you are familiar with the beginning of this great Holiday Classic. But do you know all of it?

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

BUT

There's a rumor this year
He's not coming back
The elves went on strike
And the grinch stole his sack
Santa Claus is feeling kind of down

Dancer and Prancer
They both split the scene
They got all fed up
With that housetop routine
Santa Claus is feeling kind of down

BUT

There's a story to tell
Better than tinsel and tree
It's Christmas true meaning
And it's for you and me
Someone greater is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He died upon a rugged cross
And all your sins did Jesus take

SO

You better repent
You better believe
Turn from your sin
And Jesus receive
Jesus Christ is coming...
Jesus Christ is coming....
Jesus Christ is coming to town!
