I think I saw old Santa through my window Christmas Eve
My eyes were really drooping, 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
And 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
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 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
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, it must have been old Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, happy ho ho ho to you
Happy ho ho ho to you
Early in the morning
Happy ho ho ho to you
Late in the evening
Happy ho ho ho to you
