I saw Mommy kissin' Santa Claus

underneath the mistletoe last night.

She didn't see me creep

down the stairs to have a peep;

She thought that I was tucked up

in my bedroom fast asleep.



Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

underneath his beard so snowy white;

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissin' Santa Claus last night.



We know a secret, we got a little secret,

yeah, yeah, nah nah nah!



< instrumental break >



Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

underneath his beard so snowy white;

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissin' Santa Claus last night.
