Christmas Is Coming
"Christmas Is Coming" is a nursery rhyme and Christmas song with lyrics as follows:
The traditional version of this song uses the melody of the English dance tune "Country Gardens", but other melodies exist. Edith Nesbit Bland composed a popular tune for the lyrics. The Kingston Trio recorded the song as "A Round About Christmas", on their album The Last Month of the Year. A calypso sounding version was featured on the album and a loose, jazzy piano-based arrangement was featured in the musical score of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
The rhyme also became the basis for the song "Christmas Is a-Comin'", written by Frank Luther and performed by Bing Crosby, among others.
