Chorus:

Well, santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
Its not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
He didnt come down the chimney
So mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him

Well, they thought I was fast-a-sleppin
They thought that I was tucked in his bed
They never thought Id come a-peepin
Or that Id hear what was said
Santa put his arm around mama
And mama put her arm around him
So if santa claus aint daddy
Well then Im a gonna tell on them

Repeat chorus:

I never saw dancer or prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw a red-nosed reindeer
Like they show on the tv screen
But he sure brought lots of presents
So santa claus he must have been
Well he sure looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him

Repeat chorus:
