[Verse 1] He's checking his list not once but twice Got addresses sorted oh so nice While Mrs Claus is fast asleep Santa's got appointments he must keep [Pre-Chorus] The elves all wonder why he grins As he loads up and begins [Chorus] Santa's little secret nobody knows Why his belly shakes and his red cheeks glow He's got a special route mapped out tonight The naughty list girls treat him right Ho ho ho that's why he's so jolly This Christmas mission ain't so holy [Verse 2] Reindeer waiting on the roof While Santa finds his "Christmas proof" Milk and cookies left with care But Santa's visiting elsewhere [Bridge] They say he sees you when you're sleeping Knows when you're awake and been bad or good But the real reason for his sleigh-ride keeping Is more interesting than we understood [Final Chorus] Santa's little secret now you know Why December makes his spirits grow He's got the best job in the world they say Visiting naughty girls on Christmas day Ho ho ho that's why he's so merry This tradition's legendary [Outro] [Spoken, with jazzy trumpet] "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Santa Claus is the jolliest man alive!"
