(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus Lyrics
(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus by Harry Chapin
By: Harry Connick, Jr.
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)
