[Santa Claus is Coming to Town]

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Verse: Michael Jackson & (The Jackson 5)]
You better watch out (Watch out)
You better not cry (Woo woo)
You better not pout, I'm telling you why

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Up on the House Top]

[Intro: The Jackson 5]
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, he comes
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, he comes

[Verse 1: The Jackson 5]
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for everyone's Christmas joys

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & (Tito Jackson)]
Tito had just one desire
That he gets a new guitar
But he wants a guarantee
That it won't play out of key

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick

[Frosty the Snowman]

[Verse: The Jackson 5]
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic, yeah
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

[Outro: The Jackson 5]
Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the kids all say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me, ooh hoo

[I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus]

[Spoken Intro: Michael Jackson]
Wow! Mommy's kissing Santa Claus!

[Verse: Michael Jackson & (The Jackson 5)]
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
(Kissing, kissing, Santa Claus)
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
(Tickle, tickle, Santa Claus)
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

[Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas]

[Outro: The Jackson 5 & (Jermaine Jackson)]
We wish you a Merry Christmas (Yes, we do)
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
The Jackson 5 wanna wish everybody
A mellow Merry Christmas and a groovy New Year
The Jackson 5 wanna wish everybody
A mellow Merry Christmas and a groovy New Year
(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
We wish you a Merry Christmas
(Wish you, wish you, sing it, baby)
We wish you a Merry Christmas
(Ah yeah, wish you, wish you)
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
