I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus
RuPaul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night

He didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peek
He thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep

And I saw daddy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy-white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been if Mama had only seen
Daddy kissing Santa Claus last night

Yeah, child, I saw daddy..sitting up in there kissin' on Santa Claus
(mmhmm) They was up underneath the..mistletoe..LAST NIGHT (yeah)

Oh no, huh-uh, he didn't see me creep
I was going downstairs, have a little peek, y'know

Yeah he thought I was tucked up in my bed (mm-mm)
No, child.
You know what would have been funny though, is if Mama would have caught it.
(mmhmm) Oh yeah, Mama would have had a fit..Child..

But I kind of would liked to have seen that, huh? (chuckles)
Mama, Daddy, Santa..Fightin', on Christmas Eve (chuckles)
But you know, I'm glad things worked out the way they did, because otherwise, Santa might be dead!

(Cuz I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus)





(I saw daddy kissing...) x8, fade-out

Overall Meaning

The song “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus” by RuPaul is a playful take on the classic Christmas song “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”. It describes how the singer, a child, witnesses their father kissing Santa Claus under the mistletoe on Christmas Eve. The lyrics paint a picture of a playful and humorous scene, where the father and Santa are tickling each other and having a laugh. The child hides and watches, feeling mischievous and excited to catch their father in a compromising situation. The song seems to suggest that what the singer witnessed is just innocent fun, and the child is happy that things played out the way they did. The lyrics also suggest that the child is aware that their mother might not approve of what's happening and speculates that a fight between her, the father, and Santa Claus could have ensued.


The song's underlying theme is that Christmas should be a time for joy, love, and inclusivity, regardless of one's sexual orientation. It challenges traditional notions of masculinity and heteronormativity by depicting a same-sex romance in a lighthearted and whimsical way. RuPaul's upbeat and energetic delivery captures the playful spirit of the song and invites the listener to join in the fun.

Dude, Kip Adotta did this back in the 1980s. Michael probably took his version because Kip wrote a lot of comedy songs.
