Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a'much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So mama must've let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
[Verse 2]
Well, they thought I was fast a'sleepin'
They thought I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a'peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around mama
And mama put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy
Then I'm a'gonna tell on them
[Verse 3]
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a'much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So mama must've let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
[Verse 4]
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like the show on the TV screen
But he sure brought a lot of presents
So Santa Claus, he must have been
Well, he sure looked a lot like daddy
And daddy looked a lot like him
[Verse 5]
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a'much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So mama must've let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
