Gary Allan - (It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus

I think I saw ol' Santa

Through my window Christmas eve

My eyes were really droopy

But I really do believe

It must've been ol' Santa

'Cause I saw his big red hat

And I know my mom and dad

Can't fly like that, no way,

I know my Mom and Dad

Can't fly like that.



And then I heard some footsteps

In the hall outside my door

The same ol' Christmas trick

My dad had played since I was four

He stands outside my bedroom

Yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because

He knows I don't believe

In Santa Claus, no way,

He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus.



I think my daddy sees me

Peeking from my door

But he pretends he's Santa anyway

Every year he tries to fool me

But I'm a big boy now

I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh.

No way!



So I went back to my bed and

I curled up nice and tight

I stared out of my window and

I looked into the night

And then, all of a sudden,

Through my window I could see

Santa Claus was flying by

And smiling at me



Chorus:

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

It must've been ol' Santa Claus

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you



Then I heard ol' Rudolph

Tellin' me to come outside

He told me that ol' Santa

Wanted me to take a ride

I climbed out of my window and

I jumped onto his sleigh

And then ol' Santa took me up and away,

Santa took me up, up and away



We flew high above the rooftops

Of my sleepy town below

I saw my big red school house

And the town square picture show

It was really past my bedtime

And so ol' Santa said

"Little boys like you should be in bed"



So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

And I put on Santa's hat

Then he let me hold the reins for awhile

We pulled up to my window

And I jumped back in my room

And I waved goodbye to Santa, with a smile



When I woke up Christmas morning

Well, it was clear and bright

My parents said my window

Had blown open in the night

I smiled as I told them

That it must've been the cat

And they asked me where

I got my big red hat, Oh, yeah,

They asked me where

I got my big red hat.



Chorus:

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

It must've been ol' Santa Claus

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you



Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!...
