Songdrops – When Santa Was A Boy lyrics

[Verse 1]
When Santa Claus was a boy,
He liked to give other children toys,
Except for kids who weren't that nice;
He'd fill their socks with ice.

Always in a jolly mood.
Christmas cookies were his favourite food.
His cheeks were rosy and his eyes were bright,
Especially on Christmas-y nights.

[Chorus]
Santa Claus, oh Santa Claus.
What a funny boy he was.
No one could quite understand,
'Til Santa was a man.

[Verse 2]
He loved winter more than spring.
He loved to laugh and loved to sing.
Christmas carols were his favourite songs;
He sang them all year long.
(Fa la la la).

He wasn't all that great in school,
But in geography he ruled;
He could name every home,
From the North Pole to Rome.

[Chorus]
Santa Claus, oh Santa Claus.
What a funny boy he was.
No one could quite understand,
'Til Santa was a man.

[Verse 3]
After school he liked to play,
On his papa's winter sleigh.
He was sure reindeer could fly,
If someone would let them try.

He always wore red suits.
He always wore black boots.
Even at the summer beach,
He kept them within reach.

[Chorus]
Santa Claus, oh Santa Claus.
What a funny boy he was.
No one could quite understand,
'Til Santa was a man.

[Verse 4]
He spent his weekends with the elves,
Making toys all by themselves.
They learned to make such wondrous things,
While they'd laugh and sing.
(Ho ho ho ho).

La la la lots of kids thought he was strange,
But they liked him just the same.
His joyful heart and merry way,
Brightened every day.

[Chorus]
Santa Claus, oh Santa Claus.
What a funny boy he was.
No one could quite understand,
'Til Santa was a man.

Santa Claus, oh Santa Claus.
What a funny boy he was.
No one could quite understand,
'Til Santa was a man.

No one could quite understand,
'Til Santa was a man.
