Gifts I'm preparin'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause, because
Hanging my stocking
I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Sure is dark out
Not the slightest spark out
Pardon my clacking jaws!
Who there? Who is that
Stoppin' for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Are you bringing a present for me
Somethin' pleasantly pleasant for me?
That's what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door?

Four winds are howlin'
Maybe that be growlin'
My legs, they feel like straw
My, my, oh, me, my
Kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Oh, there, Santa, you gave me a scare
Now, stop teasin', I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shaking this way

Well, I see old Santa in the keyhole
I'll get to the cause
One peek and I'll try there
Uh-oh, there's an eye there!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Please, please
Pity my knees!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
