[Verse 1]
From out the frozen northland to the better tempered clime
There's a train that comes a rollin' every year at Christmas time
All the kids are in their glory when the snow begins to fall
Cause they know it's bringin' Santa Claus on the Christmas
Cannonball

[Verse 2]
It takes off at the North Pole with a jingle and a roar
It's partly run by reindeer till it gets to Baltimore
If you hear the cry of timber comin' out of Montreal
You can start to look for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

[Chorus]
Oh, the Christmas Cannonball, the Christmas Cannonball
Jingle ling ling ling toot toot jingle ling toot
The Christmas Cannonball

[Verse 3]
She's loaded down with nice things, mama dolls and fancy toys
But he picks out all the best things for the real good girls and boys
Then he hollers Merry Christmas everybody big and small
Cause he means make way for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

[Verse 4]
So listen to your mother do the things she tells you too
If you can't be good till Christmas then it's just too bad for you
Take it easy with your crying and be careful one and all
Cause it's almost time for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

[Chorus]
Oh, the Christmas Cannonball, the Christmas Cannonball
Jingle ling ling ling toot toot jingle ling toot
The Christmas Cannonball

[Outro]
The Christmas Cannonball
The Christmas Cannonball
The Christmas Cannonball
The Christmas Cannonball
