Backstory:

It was a challenge by a music supervisor to write a Christmas song that Barbara and I took on. It was Barbara's idea to take the viewpoint of a child, having recently experienced a young child's conversation. Pete took on the music and recording. Vocalist: Ana Om of California.

SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
Robinson/Papageorge

V1:
Look, Ma, there's Santa with his reindeer on Main Street
There's gold lights on their antlers and bells on their feet
Oh, wow, he's waving to us, hurry let's run!
I want to ride on Blitzen, I know it will be fun!
I asked if he would play with me all day
He said, if that would make me happy, ok, YAY!

CH
SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
With all his reindeer, too
What a jolly old soul and gentle
He's here for me and you
SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
I wish he'd always stay
Wouldn't life be better that way!

V2:
On the megaphone Santa yelled, hey kids, let's go!
To Ken's Pond to skate and sled on the snow
Screeching boys and girls jumped on to the sleigh
Past the twinkling lights and a manger display
The sleigh was filled with happy kids in song
Just being here with Santa, where we belong

CH:
SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
With all his reindeer, too
What a jolly old soul and gentle
He's here for me and you
SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
I wish he'd always stay
Wouldn't life be better that way!
Ooo ooo
That way.........
Ooo ooo

BR: (rap)
Me and ma spent the day with Santa Claus
It was the best gift ever, give it up for applause!
Then we flew with his reindeer high in the air
And we skated, and we sledded, and we soared, I declare
It's the best day ever for the kids that were here
I’ll remember this day every day of the year!
It's the best day ever for the kids that were here
I’ll remember this day every day of the year!

CH:
SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
With all his reindeer, too
What a jolly old soul and gentle
He's here for me and you
SANTA’S HERE ON MAIN STREET
I wish he'd always stay
Wouldn't life be better that way!
Ooo ooo
That way.........
Ooo ooo
He's here!
