I th^Gink I saw ol' Santa through my ^D7window Christmas e^Gve My e^Gyes were really droopy but I re^D7ally do bel^Gieve It m^Emust've been ol' S^Bmanta 'cause I ^Emsaw his big red ^E7hat And I k^Amnow my mom and d^D7ad can't fly like t^Ghat, ^F7Oh ^E7no, Am D7 G C - C#dim - G/D I know my mom and dad can't fly like that.

And t^Ghen I heard some footsteps in the h^D7all outside my d^Goor The s^Game ol' Christmas trick my dad had pl^D7ayed since I was f^Gour He st^Emands outside my be^Bmdroom yelling &^Emquot;Ho! Ho! Ho^E7!" because He k^Amnows I don't bel^D7ieve in Santa Cl^Gaus, ^F7no ^E7way, Am D7 G C - C#dim - G/D He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus.
