Lyrics
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat.
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny, God bless you.
Christmas is coming. Lights are on the tree.
Hang up your stocking for Santa Claus to see.
If you haven't got a stocking, a little sock will do.
If you haven't got a little sock, God bless you!
Christmas is coming, the season of good cheer.
Let's all sing a carol for the brand-new year.
If you haven't got a carol, a jolly song will do.
If you haven't got a jolly song, God... bless... you...!
About This Song
“Christmas Is Coming” is a well known traditional carol talking about the meaning and symbol of Christmas: a time of celebration and goodness.
We don’t know the exact origins of the Christmas Is Coming poem. The musical sheet belongs to the writer Edith Nesbit (Bland) (1858-1924), the author of some popular children’s literature.
It became popular in the 1960s when The Kingston Trio band included it on their album “The Last Month of the Year” titled “A Round About Christmas”.
Over the years “Christmas Is Coming” has become one the most popular rounds and Christmas songs for children, both in the USA and the UK.
