Santa looked like daddy,

Or daddy looked like him.

It's not the way I had him pictured,

Santa was a' much too thin.

He didn't come down the chimney,

So momma must have let him in.

Santa looked a lot like daddy

Or daddy looked a lot like him.


Well, they thought I was fast a' sleepin',

They thought that I was tucked in bed.

They never thought I'd come a' peepin',

Or that I'd hear what was said.

Santa put his arm around momma,

And momma put her arm around him.

So if Santa Claus ain't daddy,

Then I'm a gonna tell on them.


[Chorus:]

Santa looked like daddy,

Or daddy looked like him.

It's not the way I had him pictured,

Santa was a' much too thin.

He didn't come down the chimney,

So momma must have let him in.

Santa looked a lot like daddy

Or daddy looked a lot like him.


I never saw Dancer or Prancer,

I never heard the sleigh bells ring.

An' I never saw the Red Nosed reindeer,

Like they show on the TV screen.

But he sure brought a lot of presents,

So Santa Claus, he must have been.

And Santa looked a lot like daddy

Or daddy looked a lot like him.


[Chorus]
