(It Must’ve Been Ol’) Santa Claus (2022)

[Verse 1]
Now I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
It must have been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that, oh, no
(I know my mom and dad can't fly like that)

[Verse 2]
Then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
It was the same ol' Christmas trick my daddy had played since I was four
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus, no way
(He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus)

[Bridge]
I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he prеtends he's Santa anyway
Every yеar he tries to fool me
But I'm a big boy now
I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh
No way!

[Verse 3]
So I went back to my bed, I curled up nice and tight
I stared out of my window and I looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by smiling at me (Hey)

[Chorus]
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must have been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
(Oh, y'all not gonna believe what happened next)

[Verse 4]
Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh
Then ol' Santa took me up and away
(Santa took me up, up and away)

[Verse 5]
(Aw, listen to this now)
We flew high above the rooftops of the sleepy town below
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show
It was really past my bedtime, so ol' Santa said
"Little boys like you should be in bed"

[Bridge]
So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
And I put on Santa's hat
Then he let me hold the reins a while
Pulled up to my window
And I jumped back in my room
And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile

[Verse 6]
When you know that when I woke up Christmas morning, it was clear and bright
My parents said my window had blown open in the night
I smiled as I told them that it must have been the cat
And they asked me where I got my big red hat, yeah, yeah
(Asked me where I got my big red hat)
Whoo, come on

[Chorus]
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must have been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you (In the morning)

[Outro]
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you (Christmas eve)
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you (Say it again)
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you (Yeah)
