Lyrics

[Intro]

Uh

Okay

[Verse 1]

Pull up a seat in the frosty snow

I got a story that's gotta be told

'Bout my trip to the ol' North Pole

So hold on tight (Hold on tight)

I got lost up in the evergreens

Most beauty that I ever seen

Saw a house that glistened and gleamed

So I knocked twice

[PreChorus]

An old man with a pearly-white beard

Opened up, smiling ear to ear, he said

"It's about time you made it here

Come on inside" (Come inside)

He said, "I got a sniffle and an aching head"

Mrs. Claus said, "Santa, get to bed"

He winked at me and then he said

"If you're not busy tonight, could you

[Chorus]

Put on the suit, it's in the closet

Say hi to Rudy, say hi to Comet

Take the reins and shake the bells

And you'll be on your way, huh

Down the chimney, stick the landing

Try the cookies, drop the presents

I know it's a lot to ask

But would you take my place?"

And my belly grew twelve inches

And my beard grew white and thick

On the night St. Nick got sick

[PostChorus]

Haha, come on, uh

[Verse 2]

He said I looked really fresh in red

Fuzzy hat warming up my head

I said, "Santa chill, stay in bed

It'll be alright," uh

Then the sleigh lifted off the ground

I was soaring fast, town to town

Scared of heights, but I still looked down

And I held tight

[PreChorus]

Then Santa called on the jingle line

Said, "You got it kid, you're doing fine"

He thanked me, I said, "Anytime

You need to take a break, I'll

[Chorus]

Put on the suit in the closet

Say hi to Rudy, say hi to Comet

Take the reins and shake the bells

And I'll be on my way, uh

Down the chimney, stick the landing

Try the cookies, drop the presents"

I said, "Jolly man, I got your back

I'll try to take your place"

And my belly grew twelve inches

And my beard grew white and thick

On the night St. Nick got sick

[Bridge]

Well, Santa's back in business now

I trimmed the beard, lost the pounds

I swear it's true and I don't know how

But late one Christmas Eve, I got to

[Chorus]

Put on the suit in the closet

Said hi to Rudy, said hi to Comet

Took the reins and shook the bells

And I was on my way, ha

Down the chimney, stuck the landing

Tried the cookies, dropped the presents

I had a jolly good time

But no one could take his place

And the elves still send me postcards

That's me and Santa in the pic

From the night St. Nick got sick

[Outro]

Oh, from the night St. Nick got sick, haha

Don't you worry, he'll be alright
