Dear Senor Santa Claus I think I tell you what

I would like for Christmas and I hope you won't forgot

I only want a peso that I can have for mine

To get my senorita something for Christmas time

I don't believe you read the card last Christmas that I sent

You come to see the kids across the street and then you went

Dear Senor Santa Claus I think me understand

Sometimes the toys all gone before you reach the Rio Grande

[ strings ]

Dear Senor Santa Claus I tell you what I think

I no got a stockin' I set out my piggy bank

So please bring me peso that I can have for mine

To get my senorita something for Christmas time

On Christmas Eve I watch for you and I no sleep a wink

If I no get Lolita something she feel sad I think

So please Senor Santa Claus this Christmas be so grand

If I get peso to buy ring for my Lolita's hand

[ strings ]

I don't know what I buy for her I think I buy a rose

So she can wear it in her hair most everywhere she goes

Please Senor Santa Claus this Christmas be so grand

If I get peso to buy ring for my Lolita's hand

If I get peso to buy ring for my Lolita's hand
