Lyrics
CHORUS
Christmas is a-comin’ and it’s a-jumpin’ (3)
Boy it won’t be long.

Chicken crows at midnight on a Christmas day.
Rooster crows at midnight on a Christmas day.

Children get so happy on a Christmas day. (2)

CHORUS
Santa Claus a-comin’ and he’s a comin’. (3)
Boy it won’t be long.

Santa Claus comes on Christmas, on a Christmas day. (2)
Children run and tell their pappy on a Christmas day. (2)
Little children get so happy on a Christmas day. (2)

(“Christmas Song” Collectables recording)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s almost day. (4)
Think I heard my mother say it’s almost day. (2)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s almost day. (4)
Santa Claus is comin’, yes, and it’s almost day. (2)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s Christmas day. (2)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s almost day. (4)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and I’m goin’ away. (2)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s Christmas day. (2)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s almost day. (2)
Think I heard my papa say it’s almost day. (2)
Chicken crowin’ for midnight and it’s almost day. (2)
Christmas is a-comin’ and it’s almost day. (2)
Childrens all is happy and it’s almost day.
Childrens all is happy on a Christmas day.

(additional verses from Capitol recording)
Old Santa Claus movin’ in on a Christmas day.
Children all get so happy on a Christmas day.
Children get out in the yard and swing on Christmas day.
Everybody gets happy on a Christmas day.
Children is a-walkin’ on a Christmas day.
All children is a-talkin’ on Christmas day.
