Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a-much too thin
Well, he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

Well, they thought that I was fast a-sleeping
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a-peeping
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

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a-much too thin
And he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Yes, 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
And I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show him 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

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a-much too thin
And he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Yes, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
