Santa, Where Are You?
Santa, Santa, where are you? x2
Are you under the tree?
Are you in your sleigh?
Are you under rooftop?
Santa, where are you?

Look, look, over there!
Look, look, over where?
Look, look, over there!
Santa, is that you?

...No, it's Daddy!

Santa, Santa, where are you? x2
Are you under the tree?
Are you in your sleigh?
Are you under rooftop?
Santa, where are you?

Look, look, over there!
Look, look, over where?
Look, look, over there!
Santa, is that you?
Santa?

Ho-ho-ho!
Ho-ho-ho!
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh! x2

Deck the halls
Deck the halls with bought of holly,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to by jolly,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
