Lyrics

The word had spread from town to town
That Santa's sled had broken down
And there would be no toys this Christmas day
When suddenly a cry was heard
Up in the sky, is that a bird?
And all the children shouted hip hurray! (Hip hurray!)
Hurray for Captain Santa Claus
And his reindeer space patrol
His sleigh broke down one Christmas Eve
As he started from the pole
He said those children's heart would break
If I don't make this trip
But Santa's helpers saved the day
When they built a rocket ship
Then with his reindeer space cadets
He took off through the air
And not one chimney did they miss
Every stocking got its share
Now children dance with glee, around the tree, each time they're told
The tale of Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol
Hurray for Captain Santa Claus
And his reindeer space patrol
His sleigh broke down one Christmas Eve
As he started from the pole
He said those children's heart would break
If I don't make this trip
But Santa's helpers saved the day
When they built a rocket ship
Then with his reindeer space cadets
He took off through the air
And not one chimney did they miss
Every stocking got its share
Now children dance with glee, around the tree, each time they're told
The tale of Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol!
