Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin

He didn't come down the chimney
Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him

Well, they thought that I was fast a sleepin'
They thought, I was tucked in bed
They didn't know that I'd come a peepin'
That I'd hear what has been said

Santa put his arm around Momma
And Momma put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't Daddy
Then I'm gonna tell on them

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin

He didn't come down the chimney
Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him

Well, I never saw dancer or prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
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
Well he sure looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin

He didn't come down the chimney
Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
And Daddy looked a lot like him
