(Cyndi Lauper, Jan Pulsford)

Worked with a woman named Minnie

One Christmas eve long ago

When I asked "What you doing this evening ?"

Minnie took on a seasonal glow

She said she'd be waiting for Santa

She'd be wearing a bright red bow



Chorus:

Minnie And Santa

Minnie And Santa

What they're up to only

Heaven knows she wrote on a card

"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the North Pole"



Now Minnie could not be persuaded

That Santa just did not exist

She swore if she put up some mistletoe

Santa'd come give her a kiss

And there where she'd hung up her stockings

All in their silky, soft, sheen

She'd be laying in wait on a bear skin rug

Where the cookies and milk could be seen



Chorus:

Minnie And Santa

Minnie And Santa

What they're up to only

Heaven knows she wrote on a card

"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the North Pole"

(musical interlude)



Now Minnie was older and wiser

Like a dear old Auntie to me

But the night that she ran off with Santa

Was a real epiphany



Chorus:

Minnie And Santa

Minnie And Santa

What they're up to only

Heaven knows she wrote on a card

"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the North Pole"



Next Xmas I passed by the bakery

Staring out from on top of a cake

Was jolly old Santa with a big silly grin

And a gal in silk stockings and lace

Oh, Minnie and Santa...
