Lyrics

They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play
I ain't like the old Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year
I ain't like the old Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year
I come runnin' with my presents
Every time you call me dear
I keep some change in my pocket, in case the children at home
I give 'em a few pennies, so that we can be alone
I leave the back door open, so if anybody smells a mouse
And wouldn't old Santa be in trouble, if there ain't no chimney in the house
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play
That's what they call me
Back Door Santa
That's what they call me
They call me Back Door Santa
That's what all the girls call me
I give 'em all little presents
That's what they call me
They call me Back Door Santa
And I like for them to call me that
They call me Back Door Santa
And I like it, and I like it, and I like it...
