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
