Lyrics
SANTA'S COMING OVER THE RAINBOW JOHN KEAWE
(verse 1)
C G7 C
Two little keiki were talking - and i over heard one say
C G7 C
Boy it's almost Christmas - I can hardly wait for that day
C G7 C
But I wonder how Santa's gonna get here - when he live so far away
C G7 C ~~~ G7
The other one said- eh no worry - Santa knows the way
(Chorus)
C G7 C
Cause Santa's coming over the rainbow - Santa's coming over the sea
C G7 C
Santa's coming over the rainbow - bringing presents for you and me
C G7 C C7 F
Santa's coming over the rainbow - Santa's coming over the seeeea
F C G7 C~~~G7
Santa's coming over the rainbow - bringing Christmas to Hawai'i
(Verse 2)
C G7 C
I hope I get to see his reindeer - I hope I get to see his sleigh
C G7 C
I hope that Santa has enough time - to travel all that way
C G7 C
Hey I told you now not to worry - And listen to what I say
C G7 C~~~G7
Santa will never let us down - he'll be here on that day
(Back to Chorus - repeat 2x)
