Lyrics

[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 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 that I was sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought I'd come a peepin'
Or that I heard what was said
[Verse 2]
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 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 3]
Well, 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 lots of presents
So, Santa Claus, he must have been
And he sure looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
[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 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
Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
