Words and Music by J Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie
Comedian Eddie Cantor introduced this song on his radio show in 1934, and it became an instant hit. Interestingly, the composers couldn't find a publisher when they wrote it two years earlier, because everyone thought it was just a "kiddie" song. All children know that they have to be good especially at Christmastime, if they expect Santa to pay them a visit.

Yay! It looks like this melody can be played offline on a 30 note paper strip music box!

All you need to do is:

  1. Get a 30 note DIY Music Box Kit from our online store page if you don't have one
  2. Export the melody to PDF with paper strips, print it out and cut with scissors. Make sure to use the right paper size and set you printer scale to 100%, otherwise the size won't match. It's better when paper strips are thick, so if you are going to use thin office paper, we recommend you to glue two or three layers together. Another option is to laminate paper strips with a transparent duct tape
  3. Punch holes with a tool from the music box kit
  4. Enjoy your favorite melody playing on a real music box!
