Santa comes but once a year
He does! I tell no lies
He creeps about with gifts at night,
and steals your booze and pies
From north to south, and east to west,
he visits every child
In cities, towns and villages,
and in the countryside
“I heard that Santa, he’s not real
They told me so, at school”
Don’t listen to those boys and girls,
it’s them who have been fooled
“How can Santa, just one man,
traverse across the globe,
to see us all on Chrsitmas Eve?
He must be one fast bloke!”
It’s not just Santa who’s hard at work –
he has a great big team,
who all chip in to bring your gifts,
at night time, while you dream
You may have heard about his elves –
they’re Santa’s Little Helpers
Without them, Santa couldn’t cope
He’d probably go mental
If you think you’ve seen an elf,
well, that might just be true
They hide among us, in disguise
They could be me …
or you!
They spread the magic of Santa Claus,
when he cannot be there,
to show you Santa always knows,
to show you that he cares
An elf can build, in just two hours
A great toy racing car
Armed only with a screwdriver
(and a glass of pinot noir)
He stays up late, to get it right
then wraps it up in paper
And dumps it into Santa’s sack
for him to deliver later
It’s all these very helpful elves,
that mean Santa Claus can visit
Many scales, a dragon make
Many elves make Christmas Spirit
You don’t need to see his face
to believe in Santa’s magic
But stop believing, loose your faith –
that would be rather tragic
‘Cause as long as there’s just one of us,
who still believes it’s true,
Santa’s magic will find your home …
he’ll come and visit you
