Classic Version

Dave:
Hi everyone! This is David Seville.
Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and I'd like you to join us in singing the songs of Christmas.
So let's all gather around the tree and have some fun.
Ready? Here we go!

The Chipmunks:
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pulling on the reins

Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Alvin:
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane

Dave:
Alvin, aren't you hanging it up just a...

Alvin:
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again

Dave:
Alvin, take it a little easier.

Alvin:
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle
What a beautiful sight

Dave:
Oh Alvin, you're overreacting.

Alvin:
Jump in bed and cover up your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Dave:
Sing.

The Chipmunks:
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor
He loves you just the same

Santa knows that we're God's children
That makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

The Chipmunks:
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane

Dave:
Cut the whistle fellas.

The Chipmunks:

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle
What a beautiful sight
Jump in bed and cover up your head

Dave:
It, it just doesn't work guys.

The Chipmunks:
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane

He loves you just the same

Santa knows that we're nice children
That makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa comes tonight!

Santa Claus:
When Alvin arrived at the department store, it was still crowded with a lot of last minute shoppers.

Customer 1:
What do you mean you're out of Somat the Robot?

Customer 2:
What, what? This little nut is supposed to hold on this big wheel on this car. What?

Customer 3:
Batteries aren't included. Why I've never heard of such a thing!

Customer 4:
Hey, I saw the Betsy Wetsy first.

Santa Claus:
Alvin made his way through the crowd and over to the harmonica display where the golden Echo Harmonica sat just as majestically as ever.
There was only one problem; Alvin still didn't have enough money to buy it.
Just then, a little woman with sparkling blue eyes walked over to him.
She told him that she was far away from home, had no children of her own, and would love to give him the golden Echo Harmonica as a Christmas present.

Alvin was speechless.
But to show his appreciation, Alvin began playing a moving rendition of "Silent Night" on the Echo Harmonica.
A shining star in the heavens shown down on him through the window.
A dazzling spotlight for Alvin and the Echo Harmonica.
The crowd that had been yelling and screaming only moments before now supplied the chorus to "Silent Night."
