santa claus is comin' to town

em, mad and i just finished watching the classic 1970 Christmas tale, santa claus is coming to town. here are a couple of interesting quotes:

when kris kringle and mrs. kringle tie the knot the narrator states, "they stood before the Lord in a grove of pine trees."

when kris (aka santa claus) decides to start delivering presents one night a year the narrator proclaims, he chose the holiest nights of the year."

there were a few more similar quotes.

em pointed out that santa claus is coming to town comes before rudolph.
at first i thought she meant that we recorded santa before rudolph on the dvr, but no. she meant chronologically. santa is younger in santa is coming to town and older in rudolph.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:

Santa Claus is coming to town!

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out
who's naughty or nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!

So...You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Little tin horns,
Little toy drums.
Rudy-toot-toot
and rummy tum tums.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Little toy dolls
that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
and Kiddie cars too.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

The kids in Girl and Boy Land
will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree.

Oh....You better watch out,
You better not cry.
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
To town.

"merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."
