(It Must Have Been Ol') Santa Claus

I think I saw old Santa through my window Christmas Eve

My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe

It must have been old Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat

And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that, no way

(I know my mom and dad can't fly like that)

Then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door

Same old 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 smiling at me

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, it must have been old Santa Claus

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, happy ho, ho, ho to you

Then I heard old Rudolph telling me to come outside

He told me that old Santa wanted me to take a ride

I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh

Then old Santa took me up and away

(Then Santa took me up, up and away)

We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below

I saw my big red schoolhouse and the town square picture show

It was really past my bedtime and so old Santa said

"Little boys like you should be in bed"

So I hollered "Ho, ho, ho" and I put on Santa's hat

He let me hold the reins for 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, "It must have been the cat"

And they asked me where I got my big red hat, oh yeah

(They asked me where I got my big red hat)
