Letra (it must've been ol') santa claus Christmas Songs

(it must've been ol') santa claus

(Lyrics by Harry Connick, Jr.)
I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve

My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe

It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat

And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door

The same ol' Christmas trick my dad 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
I think my daddy sees me

Peeking from my door

But he pretends he's Santa anyway

Every year he tries to fool me

But I'm a big boy now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh...

No way!
So I went back to bed and I curled up nice and tight

I stared out my window and looked into the night

And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see

Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me
[Chorus:]

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

It must've been ol' Santa Claus

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
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 up and away
We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below

I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show

It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said

"Little boys like you should be in bed"
So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

And I put on Santa's hat

Then he let me hold the reins awhile

We pulled up to my window

And I jumped back in my room

And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile
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've been the cat

And they asked me where I got my big red hat
[Chorus]
