Please, listen very carefully to this.
Do my ears deceive me?
Has Gene Autry been revealed to be nothing less than a socialist agitator and enemy of Christmas, a primary causative factor for our current welfare state?
I present further evidence for my case beneath the fold. Oh, and apologies for the link---old computer.
Read the following and take note of the bolded text.
Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the rein,
Bells are ringing, Children are singing, All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with toys for the boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,What a beautiful sight
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor for he loves you just the same
Santa knows that we're all God's children,
That makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
It is apparent that Gene Autry wrote and sang this song for no other reason than to subliminally imprint his communistic and socialistic agenda into the minds of innocent children.
I rest my case.
