Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creap
Down the stairs to have a peek
She thought that I was tucked up
In my Bedroom fast asleep
Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
What a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Underneath the mistletoe last night

Down the stairs to have peak
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

If daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

I witnessed my mother kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
This occurred beneath the festive decoration of mistletoe, during the night
She didn't see me creep
My mother was unaware of my presence as I quietly observed what was happening
Down the stairs to have a peek
I snuck down the stairs to take a look at what was happening
She thought that I was tucked up
My mother believed that I was already asleep, safe and sound in my bed
In my bedroom fast asleep
My mother assumed that I was in deep slumber in my own room
Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
I then witnessed my mother playfully tickling Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
This was happening beneath the whitened beard of Santa Claus
What a laugh it would have been
It would have been a funny sight to behold
If daddy had only seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
