Oh Santa, you are fine.

You are one of a kind.

How I love to sing songs for you

all of the time.

Oh Santa, I love you.

I think you love me, too.

We can be good friends.

I think you like kitty cats, too.

Oh Santa, I hope you

know kind little guys.

I think you're sweet,

and I'm leaving you a beet.

It's a lovely little beet.

I think it's really neat.

If you don't like beets

you could give it to your steed

I think your steed is cool

I think it really rules

do you have eight or do you

have one with eight feet?

Oh Santa, you are swell.

Could you ring my Chrismas bells?

I think you're really superb, super fine.

Oh Santa, I did find

You are one of a kind.

I once sat on your knee

when I was just 'bout three.

Oh Santa, it is true

that the most hugged is you.

Oh, we love to hug you and

give you cookies, too.

Oh Santa, by your eye

you see I am quiet shy.

I would like to stay but I must say good bye.
