G C G
From out the frozen northland to the better tempered clime
A7 D7
There's a train that comes a rollin' every year at Christmas time
G C G
All the kids are in their glory when the snow begins to fall
C D7 G
Cause they know it's bringin' Santa Claus on the Christmas cannonball
C G
It takes off at the North Pole with a jingle and a roar
A7 D7
It's partly run by reindeer till it gets to Baltimore
G C G
If you hear the cry of timber comin' out of Montreal
C D7 G
You can start to look for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball
C G
Oh the Christmas Cannonball the Christmas Cannonball
C
Jingle ling ling ling toot toot jingle ling toot
D7 G
The Christmas Cannonball
C G
She's loaded down with nice things mama dolls and fancy toys
A7 D7
But he picks out all the best things for the real good girls and boys
G C G
Then he hollers Merry Christmas everybody big and small
C D7 G
Cause he means make way for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball
C G
So listen to your mother do the things she tells you too
A7 D7
If you can't be good till Christmas then it's just too bad for you
G C G
Take it easy with your crying and be careful one and all
C D7 G
Cause it's almost time for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball
Repeat #3
