Once a year in the middle of December Santa Claus comes around
With gifts and things all the kiddies will remember
Pleasing everyone in town
He'll bounce and bump, he's so doggone plump
As he goes his merry way
He shouts and sings for the joy he brings
If you listen you'll hear him say

Hang up your stockin', Hang up your stockin'
Hang up your stockin' on Christmas Eve
'cause Santa's on his way

So boys and girls, here's something to remember
Listen to me through the year
If you're not good and if you're not tender
Santa's sure to hear

Get ready for bed, he'll be coming soon
With a sleigh of reindeer too,
And just before you settle down
You better be sure that you

Hang up your stockin', Hang up your stockin'
Hang up your stockin' on Christmas Eve
'cause Santa's on his way

Hang up your stockin', Hang up your stockin'
Hang up your stockin' on Christmas Eve
'cause Santa's on his way
