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 I was fast a-sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a-peepin' or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around mama and mama put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy, then I'ma 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
Yeah, 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
Yeah, Santa looked a lot like daddy or daddy looked a lot like him
