Lyrics

[Chorus]
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 have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy, or daddy looked a lot like him
[Verse 1]
Well, they thought I was fast a-sleepin', they thought I was tucked in bed
They never thought 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
[Chorus]
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 have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy, or daddy looked a lot like him
[Instrumental]
I never saw Dancer or Prancer, I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer like they 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
[Chorus]
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy, or daddy looked 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 have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy, or daddy looked a lot like him
