I wish I was Santa Claus
I'd take all the whole year off
Except on Christmas day
I'd go flyin' on my sleigh
I wish I was Santa Claus

I'd give away all the toys my little elves make
And leave them for the children of the world
I wish I could be there with em' when they all wake
To see the happy little boys and girls

I wish I was Santa Claus
With a belly that was big and soft
I'd go flyin' out on my sleigh
Have Rudolph lead the way
I wish I was Santa Claus

I wish I was Santa Claus
I'd take all the whole year off
Except on Christmas day
Go flyin' on my sleigh
I wish I was Santa Claus

I'd give away all the toys my little elves make
And leave them for the children of the world
I wish I could be there with em' when they all wake
To see the happy little boys and girls
I wish I was Santa Claus
With a belly that was big and soft
Go flyin' on my sleigh
Have Rudolph lead the way
I wish I was Santa Claus

I'd go out flyin' on my sleigh
Have old Rudolph lead the way
I wish I was Santa Claus

Wish I, wish I was old Santa...
