Lyrics

Mis ter “Claus,” I feel as though I know ya.

So you won’t mind if I should get fam mil ya,

will ya?

San ta Ba by, just slip a sa ble un der the tree for me.

Been an aw ful good girl, San ta Ba by, so hur ry down the chim ney to night.

San ta Ba by, a fif ty four con vert i ble, too, light blue.

I’ll wait up for you, dear San ta Ba by, so hur ry down the chim ney to night.

Think of all the fun I’ve missed.

Think of all the fel las that I have n’t kissed.

Next year I could be just as good

if you check off my Christ mas list.

San ta Ba by, I want a yacht and real ly that’s not a lot.

Been an an gel all year, San ta Ba by, so hur ry down the chim ney to night.

San ta Ba by, one lit tle thing I real ly do need; the deed

to a plat i num mine, San ta hon ey, so hur ry down the chim ney to night.

San ta cu tie, and fill my stock ing with a du plex and cheques.

Sign your X on the line, San ta cut ie, and hur ry down the chim ney to night.

Come and trim my Christ mas tree

with some dec o ra tions bought at Tif fa ny.

I real ly do be lieve in you.

Let’s see if you be lieve in me.

San ta Ba by, for got to men tion one lit tle thing, a ring!

I don’t mean on the phone, San ta Ba by, so hur ry down the chim ney to night.

night.
