Lyrics
Hark the merry bells are ringing loud and clear
Happy boys and girls have come from far and near
Joyously singing, cheerful news bringing
This is the festive time best of all the year
Dreams that we have loved so now are coming true
Santa Claus will soon be here
So join hands and sing while bells louder ring
Hear his little reindeers prancing near
Chorus
Coming to us is dear Santa Claus coming to bring us joy
Away from his castle that is filled full of toys
He is bringing something nice for girls and boys
Something for you and perhaps for me
Something for our Christmas tree
So dance ’round and sing, hark hear the merry ring
Of the jolly laugh of dear old Santa Claus
Sung here by Vancha March:
