CommentsSANTA CLAUS CAME IN THE SPRING.. from the RKO Picture "To Beat the Band".. on this one Johnny wrote both the words and music. This was done in 1935, two years after his huge Lazybones. Irving Berlin Inc published this. The best known piece from TO BEAT THE BAND is Mercers very famous "Eeny Meeny Miney Mo". for educational and research use Is it April, is it snowing, Have I lost my head completely, Have blossoms turned to snow flakes on the ground? Are they robbins, are they sleigh bells, That I hear sing out so sweetly, Has some one turned the calenday around? SANTA CLAUS CAME IN THE SPRING, Santa Claus came when the skies were blue, I heard his sleigh bells ting-a-ling,- The day that I met you.SANTA CLAUS CAME IN THE SPRING, Riding along through the daffodils, And I just saw him vanishing, Accross the distant hills; I heard his reindeer on the ground, I thought I caught a glimpse of red, But suddenly I turned around, And there you were instead. What if he hurrued away. Santa Clauss came when the skies were blue, And now it's Christmas ev-'ry day, Because he brought me you. |
