G
Santa looked a lot like daddy
                           C
Or daddy looked a lot like him
                           D
It's not the way I had him pictured
                   G
Santa was much too thin 

He didn't come down the chimney
                          C
So mama must have let him in
                        D
Santa looked a lot like daddy
                           G
Or daddy looked a lot like him



G
Well, they thought I was fast-a-sleppin'
                                      C   
They thought that I was tucked in his bed
                              D
They never thought I'd come a-peepin'
                          G
Or that I'd hear what was said 

Santa put his arm around mama
                            C
And mama put her arm around him
                        D
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy
                              G
Well then I'm a gonna tell on them 


Repeat Chorus:


G
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
                               C
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
                        D
I never saw a red-nosed reindeer
                         G
Like they show on the TV screen 

But he sure brought lots of presents
                            C
So Santa Claus he must have been
                               D
Well he sure looked a lot like daddy
                           G
Or daddy looked a lot like him
