(it Must`ve Been Ol`) Santa Claus Lyrics

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
