If you look up in the sky I am certain you will hear
Sleigh bells a-ringin’ Santa Claus is near
Oh he might visit you if you have been good
So you better start now and do like you should

Merry Christmas and a Ho-Ho-Ho
This is what You’ll hear Santa say
God bless every little girl and boy
I hope I brought you some Christmas joy

Then he’ll ride back home with a great big smile
And all God’s children will be happy for awhile
And by next year on a beautiful Christmas morn
You will thank the Lord that little Jesus was born

Merry Christmas and a Ho-Ho-Ho
This is what You’ll hear Santa say
If you be good then I will be back
With a bunch of toys in my big brown sack

Oh he’s dressed in red
And he carries a bag full of toys
And he gives them out to good girls and boys
Oh he rides his sleigh with eight tiny reindeer
And on Christmas Day you will find he’s been here

And on Christmas Day you will find he’s been here
