Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Poor me
[Verse 2]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
When he came last year
(Poor Santa Claus)
[Verse 3]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
He won't come back, I fear
(Boo-hoo)
[Verse 4]
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Roly-poly fat and round
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down
[Verse 5]
Santa please come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back to my chimney
Santa please come back to my chimney
You can come back here (Please do)
'Cause daddy made a brand new chimney
Just for you this year
[Verse 6]
(Oh, Ella is a little girl who's tryin' to be good)
Yet, I find that things don't always turn out as they should
(Why, just last Christmas Eve she waited up for Santa to drop by)
But I nearly missed him and here's the reason why
[Verse 7]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
When he came last year
(Poor Santa Claus)
[Verse 8]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
He won't come back, I fear
(Boo-hoo)
[Verse 9]
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Roly-poly fat and round
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down
[Verse 10]
Santa please come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back to my chimney
Santa please come back to my chimney
You can come back here (Please do)
[Verse 11]
'Cause daddy made a brand new chimney
Just for you this year
(Santa Clause, come on down the chimney)
(Please come back this year)
