G#m7
Ooo-ooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
F#
Christmas comes this time each year
G#m7  C#7
Oo  - oo

     G#m7   C#7             G#m7      C#7
Well way up north where the air gets cold
          F#
There's a tale about Christmas
                     Gdim
That you've all been told
      G#m7        C#7             G#m7  C#7
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
       F#                                  Gdim
All he spends all year workin' out on his sled

Chorus:
          B
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick
         G#m7
It's the little Saint Nick
       C#7
Little Saint Nick

Verse 2

       G#m7       C#7               G#m7      C#7
Just a little bob-sled we call the old Saint Nick
           F#                                Gdim
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
      G#m7        C#7         G#m       C#7
She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
         F#                                     Gdim
And when Santa hits the gas man just watch her peel

Chorus

 B                 E
Run run reindeer, Run run reindeer
 B                 G#
Run run reindeer, Run run reindeer
He don't miss no one

And hauling through the snow at a frightening speed
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead
He's gotta wear his goggles because
the snow really flies
And he's cruising every pad with a little surprise
Chorus

Ohh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick (Ooo)
Christmas comes this time each year
Ohh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick (Ooo)
Christmas comes this time each year
Ohh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick (Ooo)
Christmas comes this time
