SANTA�S ERRANDS

SANTA’S ERRANDS



Mom, how is it that Santa does
Come only once a year?
Every month I will love to be
In his arms without fear.

And when he comes, I would tell him,
What he should bring next time.
For each gift I would give him a
Kiss and a nickel dime

“But, son, don’t forget that he is
So fat and he’s so old.
Carrying all those loads of gifts
Around the world is bold.

Running around at Christmas time,
He’s so much out of breath.
For full six months after Christmas,
He takes a nap in bed.

And then for the next six months he
Is so busy like hell,
To collect gifts for the children,
For the next Christmas spell!”
