Jane Krakowski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
