It was half past twelve on Christmas Eve Santa had a trick tucked up his sleeve He came down the chimney, covered in soot With a great big sack and a size twelve boot I said, "Santa, honey, what's that there?" He turned around with a startled stare He said, "I've got something special for you!" I said, "Well, darling, is it something new?" He said, "It's big, it's red, it's wrapped up tight!" I said, "Goodness gracious, what a night!" He reached in his sack, started pulling it free I said, "Santa, don't you tease me!" Santa, your package is showing! And everybody's gonna know it! You've got a big surprise Right before my eyes And that ribbon's barely holding! Santa, your package is showing! Better watch where that thing's going! You can shake it, you can squeeze But don't knock down my Christmas tree! Santa, your package is showing! He said, "I've been delivering all night long!" I said, "Honey, something's going wrong!" His belt came loose, his trousers slipped And right off the fireplace his cocoa tipped He said, "I need a little Christmas cheer!" I said, "Well, come a little closer, dear!" He winked and said, "I've got one more stop!" I said, "Not until you fix that top!" He said, "I've got a list, I've checked it twice!" I said, "Santa, I've been extra nice!" He said, "Then tell me what you'd like to see!" I said, "Surprise me underneath the tree!" Santa, your package is showing! And everybody's gonna know it! You've got a big surprise Right before my eyes And that ribbon's barely holding! Santa, your package is showing! Better watch where that thing's going! You can shake it, you can squeeze But don't knock down my Christmas tree! Santa, your package is showing! Santa, is that mistletoe? Why, yes, my dear! How did you know? And what's that bulging in your coat? A brand-new toy! Now don't you gloat! Does Mrs. Claus know you're out this late? She packed my lunch at half past eight! Well, Santa, you've been very bold! It's just the weather! I'm getting cold! Then why's your face so Christmas red? Because your cat is in my sled! Santa, your package is showing! And everybody's gonna know it! You've got a big surprise Right before my eyes And that ribbon's barely holding! Santa, your package is showing! Better watch where that thing's going! You can shake it, you can squeeze But don't knock down my Christmas tree! Santa, your package is showing! He finally pulled that present free And laid it underneath my tree I tore the paper, took a look... A CHRISTMAS SWEATER?! Ho, ho, ho! And it matches your socks! Santa... get out of my house!
