Lyrics

[Intro]
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
[Verse 1]
Gifts, I'm preparin' for some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hanging my stockin', I can hear them knockin'
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
[Verse 2]
Sure is dark out
Ain't the slightest spark out
Pardon my clacking jaws
Who's there, who is it, uh, stoppin' for a visit?
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
[Chorus]
Are you bringing a present for me?
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That is just what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door?
[Verse 3]
Ol' winds a howlin'
Or could that be growlin'?
My legs feel like stars
Yeah, my, my, oh, me, my
Kindly would you reply?
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
[Verse 4]
Yes, hangin' the stockin'
I can hear him knockin'
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
I said, who's there, who is it, uh, uh
You stoppin' for a visit?
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
[Chorus]
Whoa, there, Santa, you gave me a scare
Now stop teasin' 'cause I know you're there
Oh, we don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm a-shakin' that way
[Verse 5]
Then I can see ol' Santa in the keyhole
I'll get to the cause
One peak and I'll try there, oh, oh, there's an eye there
Is 'zat you, Santa Claus?
[Outro]
Please
Oh, please
A-pity my knees
Say, 'zat you
Santa Claus?
That's him, alright
