Starsky & Hutch
Santa
Claus Is Coming To Town
Hutch stared at the lights in the
Christmas tree. A tree he and Starsky
had picked up that afternoon, and had decorated together, while listening to
old Christmas records.
After all these years Hutch had
finally given up fighting Starsky when it came to celebrating Christmas. It was
much easier to stop protesting and give in to the joy and pleasure of the
season. Or better said: give in to the joy and pleasure of his partner. At
first Hutch really didn't understand why Starsky was so adamant when it came to
them celebrating Christmas, but seeing his best friend in such a good mood, so
full of life, with eyes sparkling, who was Hutch to ruin it for him? To be
honest he couldn't. Over the years Christmas had become very special for Hutch
too. It was the time of year where he could surprise Starsky with a present and
show him how much he meant to him. It
was the time of year where their friends and their families came together to
share in the true Christmas spirit, the Christmas spirit that was returned to
Hutch by Starsky. Hutch knew he could
never pay Starsky back for what he did, but he also knew Starsky didn't want
him to. All Starsky wanted was to see him happy and Hutch just couldn't refuse
him anything.
He looked up at the angel at the top
of the tree and smiled. He had never believed that angels or miracles existed
before, but Starsky had taught him different. An angel had brought Starsky to
him, and a miracle had kept them together. When he thought about it, Hutch knew
there had been more than one miracle during their careers. There had been so
many times when death threatened to separate them, and leave one of them alone.
But love had prevailed and here they were, celebrating another Christmas together.
So Hutch waited for his friend to
come home. When he heard Starsky coming up the stairs, singing yet another
Christmas carol, he put on the ridiculous Santa hat that he’d refused to wear
before and sang along.
Oh! 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 or nice.
Santa
Claus is coming to town!
He sees
you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
So...You
better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa
Claus is coming to town.
Little
tin horns,
Little toy drums.
Rudy-toot-toot
and rummy tum tums.
Santa
Claus is coming to town.
Little
toy dolls
that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
and Kiddie cars too.
Santa
Claus is coming to town.
The kids
in Girl and
will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree.
Oh....You better watch out,
You better not cry.
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa
Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
To town.
