Santa Claus
Alabama (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls all know soon they'll hear the sound of your reindeer
Now sometimes grownups grow up to believe that you don't really come on
Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true 'cause I know I see you in sparking little eyes
around the tree
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And it's time to play ole Santa Clause tonight
Well I don't see how anybody could ever doubt that there's really a Santa
Clause.
Not if they've ever seen a little girl with her arms wrapped around her baby
doll, so tight both of 'em waking up Mama and Daddy way before daylight
And Grandma and Grandpa are looking young and full of life, just knowin' that
their grandkids are gonna be alright
And Mama and Daddy, they'll be waitin' up to answer ole Santa's call.
"Cause tonight they ain't worried about the bills- Lord they're just lovin' it all
Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And I'll be waiting up for you tonight
Ho-Ho-Ho
