“I Could Be Santa Claus” is the soundtrack to Coca-Cola’s 2023 Christmas Ad, which aims for kindnesses under the motto, “The World Needs More Santas”, and hinges on the idea that anyone can be Santa Claus.

[Verse]
Anyone can be Santa, why can't a lady like me?
I admit I'm underfed but with a pillow from the bed
I could be Santa Claus
Oh, anyone can play Santa, I've fantasized it a lot
With his hat upon my head and his suit of Christmas red
I could be Santa Claus
[Refrain]
And with his "ho ho ho", I'd be goin'
Down the chimneys with his sack
And although my curls may be showin'
I'll make sure they only see me from the back
[Outro]
Yes, anyone can be Santa a tantalizin' remark
Though his boots are not my size with a twinkle in my eyes
I could be Santa Claus
With his reindeer and his sleigh I'd be up, up and away
I could be Santa, I could be Santa
I could be Santa Claus
I Could Be Santa Claus was written by Jules Bass & Maury Laws.
