Santa looked like daddy
or daddy looked like him
it's not the way I had him pictured
santa was a' much too thin
he didn't come down the chimney
so momma must have let him in
santa looked a lot like daddy
or daddy looked a lot like him

well, they thought I was fast a' sleepin'
they thought that I was tucked in bed
they never thought I'd come a' peepin'
or that I'd hear what was said
santa put his arm around momma
and momma put her arm around him
so if Santa Claus ain't daddy
then I'm a gonna tell on them

santa looked like daddy
or daddy looked like him
it's not the way I had him pictured
santa was a' much too thin
he didn't come down the chimney
so momma must have let him in
santa looked a lot like daddy
or daddy looked a lot like him
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
an' I never saw the Red Nosed reindeer
like they show on the Tv screen
but he sure brought a lot of presents
so Santa Claus, he must have been
and Santa looked a lot like daddy
or daddy looked a lot like him
