Santa Claus once caught a cold
The night of Christmas Eve
Though he felt he had to go
He felt to sick to leave
Suddenly he heard the bells
Ajingling on his sleigh,
He looked out, just in time
To see his outfit pull away
Oh

Chorus
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, Little son of Santa Claus, hitched the reindeer to the sleigh,
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, filling in for Santa Claus,
Cracked the whip and drove away,
"Giddy-up, Giddy-up", Willy hollered "Giddy-up"
Driving southward in the night,
Ting-l-ling, ting-l-ling, with the bells a jing-l-ling,
Willy soon was out of sight

Mama Claus came rushing in and breathlessly she said,
"I just looked in Willy's room and Willy's not in bed"
"Dear oh dear!" cried Santa Claus, "I think he's run away
He had on his new green suit, and drove off in my sleigh"

Chorus
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, little son of Santa Claus,
Filling in for Santa Claus,
Had a job to do that night
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, little son of Santa Claus,
Went down chimneys, left and right
Bicycles, choo-choo trains, little dolls and aerolplanes,
He left toys for everyone Water guns, cowboy hats, puppy dogs, and pussy cats,
Just like Santa would have done

Christmas morn the sleigh flew home
Across the snow white plains
Mom and Santa saw at once that no one held the reins
Out they ran to search the sleigh and when they
Looked in back,
Guess who they found sound asleep
Upon the empty sack
Oh

Chorus
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, little son of Santa Claus,
Two more gifts were were all he had,
In his arms, in his arms, they were nestled in his arms,
One said "Mom" and one said "Dad"
Santa Claus, Mama Claus, smiled on little Willy Claus,
Then as they picked up their son,
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, little son of Santa Claus,
Whispered "God bless everyone"
