Someone Is Coming To Town!

We were in the car, headed to the boys' school, earlier this week 
when Santa Claus Is Coming To Town came on the radio.

Tink started singing along just as he tends to do with all of 
the most popular Christmas songs. 

However, his version was a bit different than the one I knew.  

It went like this:

Sanna Taws is tummin' to town.
Sanna Taws is tummin' to town.
You nah dunna twy.
Sanna...

(approximately 10 second pause)

Tumbuyee is tummin' to town,
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiy nah dunna tewl youuuuuuuu!
Tumbuyee is tummin' to town,
Iiiiiiiiii nah dunna tewl youuuuuuu!

Translation:

Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
You not gonna cry.
Santa...

(pause)

Somebody is coming to town.
I'm not gonna tell you!
Somebody is coming to town.
I'm not gonna tell you!

Dude.  

Really?!

You are not a party to some big secret.  

Everyone knows who is coming to town.

And at whom, exactly, are you metaphorically wiggling your fingers 
with your thumbs stuck in your ears?

(sigh)

This kid cracks me up.

He sang his version of the song multiple times.

And I laughed with each rendition.

We have two more sleeps before everyone wakes to see what 
the visitor-who-will-remain-unnamed has brought for them.  

I'm sure this guy, the one in on the unnamed visitor's secret, will be 
super stoked to see what he has gotten.  

Until then, I will let him believe that he is the 
only one with the inside information.
