The Christmas Song Lyrics

All the lights are coming on now
How I wish that it would snow now
I don't feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay

All the trees are on display now
And its cold now
I don't feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay

I wish that I could walk
I wish that I could walk
You home

All the lights are coming on now
How I wish that it would snow now
I don't feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay

Santa's coming to town
With his suitcase in his hands
Santa's coming to town
With his suitcase in his hands

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's actually "Santa's coming to town/With his suitcase in his hands".

This is a great song.

I agree about the lyrics not being quite right at that bit. Anyway, this is by far the best Christmas song anybody could ever hope to hear.

Somehow, these two are able to convey such wonderful feelings with simple words and relatively simple melodies. This song makes me happy and nostalgic; it's eerily pretty and comforting at the same time. I've reading "sequins in his hair," in a few places, but I think "suitcase" is definitely more logical. Either way, great song.

This is my favorite christmas song... well next to Father Christmas by The Kinks. I'd consider that a noteworthy feat.

This tune is really really similar to the 1962 Shirelles song "Soldier Boy." An interesting update!

I think I heard on an interview they wrote this about being in college and not wanting to leave school to go home for Christmas. Great song!
