(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus

Now I think I saw ol' Santa

Through my window Christmas Eve

My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe

It must have 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

Then I heard some footsteps

In the hall outside my door

It was the same ol' Christmas trick

My daddy 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

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

Smiling at me

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

It must've been ol' Santa Claus

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

Happy "Ho, ho, ho" to you

And 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

And then he let me hold the reins awhile

We pulled up to my window

And I jumped back in my room

And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile

Well, you know that when I woke up Christmas morning

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) Woo

Come on, Santa Claus, Santa Claus

It must've been ol' Santa Claus

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

Happy "Ho, ho, ho" to you (In the morning)

Happy "Ho, ho, ho" to you (Mister C)

Happy "Ho, ho, ho" to you (Say it again)

Happy "Ho, ho, ho" to you
