I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS,
I WANNA GET ALL THE TOYS
JUST LIKE SANTA CLAUS I'D GIVE THEM AWAY
TO ALL THE GIRLS AND BOYS
THEN IF I COULD BE SANTA CLAUS,
COMING THROUGH FOR EV'RYONE
AND THE GIFTS THAT I'D BRING COULD MAKE YOUR HEART SING,
WE'D HAVE SO MUCH FUN

SANTA CLAUS IS SOMEONE WHO COMES JUST ONCE A YEAR,
BUT I COULD BE THERE EV'RY DAY, BRINGING CHRISTMAS CHEER

I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS,
I WANNA RIDE IN THE SLEIGH
THEN I'D FLY THROUGH THE AIR
AND CATCH YOU A STAR TONIGHT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY

SANTA CLAUS IS SOMEONE WHO COMES JUST ONCE A YEAR,
BUT I COULD BE THERE EV'RY DAY, BRINGING CHRISTMAS CHEER

IF I COULD BE SANTA CLAUS,
I'D MAKE EV'RY DREAM COME TRUE
AND SIGN EV'RY CARD EXACTLY THE SAME
WITH LOVE FROM ME TO YOU

OO -

(I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)
I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS
(I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)
I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS
DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO, DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO (I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)
I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EV'RYBODY!!
HOO! HOO! HOO! HOO! HOO!

"WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR CHRISTMAS, LITTLE PUDEL?"

IT'S A WALTZ, IT'S A WALTZ AND I'M HAPPY
