I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS,

I WANNA GET ALL THE TOYS.

JUST LIKE SANTA CLAUS I'D GIVE THEM AWAY

TO ALL THE GIRLS AND BOYS.



THEN IF I COULD BE SANTA CLAUS,

COMING THROUGH FOR EV'RYONE

AND THE GIFTS THAT I'D BRING COULD MAKE YOUR HEART SING,

WE'D HAVE SO MUCH FUN.





SANTA CLAUS IS SOMEONE WHO COMES JUST ONCE A YEAR,

BUT I COULD BE THERE EV'RY DAY, BRINGING CHRISTMAS CHEER.





I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS,

I WANNA RIDE IN THE SLEIGH.

THEN I'D FLY THROUGH THE AIR

AND CATCH YOU A STAR TONIGHT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY.





SANTA CLAUS IS SOMEONE WHO COMES JUST ONCE A YEAR,

BUT I COULD BE THERE EV'RY DAY, BRINGING CHRISTMAS CHEER.





IF I COULD BE SANTA CLAUS,

I'D MAKE EV'RY DREAM COME TRUE

AND SIGN EV'RY CARD EXACTLY THE SAME

WITH LOVE FROM ME TO YOU.





OO -





(I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)

I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS.

(I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)

I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS.

DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO, DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO (I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)

I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS.





MERRY CHRISTMAS EV'RYBODY!!

HOO! HOO! HOO! HOO! HOO!
