(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus

I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve
|
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
|
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
|
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that, Oh no,
|
I know my Mom and Dad can't fly like that.
|
|
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
|
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four
|
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because
|
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus, no way,
|
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus.
|
|
I think my daddy sees me
|
Peeking from my door
|
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
|
Every year he tries to fool me
|
But I'm a big boy now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh...
|
No way!
|
|
So I went back to my bed and I curled up nice and tight
|
I stared out of my window and I looked into the night
|
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
|
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me
|
|
Chorus:
|
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
|
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
|
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
|
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
|
|
Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside
|
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride
|
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh
|
And then ol' Santa took me up and away,
|
Santa took me up up and away
|
|
We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below
|
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show
|
It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said
|
"Little boys like you should be in bed"
|
|
So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
|
And I put on Santa's hat
|
Then he let me hold the reins a while
|
We pulled up to my window
|
And I jumped back in my room
|
And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile
|
|
When I woke up Christmas morning (well) it was clear and bright
|
My parents said my window had blown open in the night
|
I smiled as I told them that it must've been the cat
|
And they asked me where I got my big red hat, Yeah yeah,
|
They asked me where I got my big red hat.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you! (18x)
