Merry Christmas, Santa Claus (You're A Lovely Guy)

[spoken]
There's an old man on a sleigh
Who's like me for just one day
When he bestrides the world like a huge co-co-co-colostomy
He gets no presents, no fun
And he's forgotten when he's done
So here's a little gift
A little song to him, fr-fr-from me:

Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
You are one love-love-lovely guy.

So let us recall what started it all
On that Bethlehem night so long ago
When people gazed-gazed from afar
Upon a giant star
Which reminds me of sum-sum-someone you all know (hehe!)

When Jesus in that manger lay
While the sheep and donkeys sway
The wise men and shhhh-shepherds bowed their heads
Jesus heard the lullaby so he opened up his eyes
And looked up at his mummy, and said said-said-said...

Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, you're a lovely guy
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, you're a lovely guy

[spoken]
Dear, dear Santa... Words don't come eas-eas-eas-eas-easily to me...
I just wanna say -- I love you. From the top of your Christmas stocking
To the bottom of your Christmas bot-bot-bottom!

Ah have a dream today, my friends!
That before this Christmas ends
A big sack of Santa love I'll briiiiiing!
And we'll unite the whole world through --
Yes, even Belgians too! --
And we'll stand tog-together and siiiiing:

Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, you're a lovely guy
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
Merry Christmas, you're a lovely guy

[freeform while the choir sings the chorus]
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus! m-m-m-Merry Christmas, Santa Claus
You are one helluva guy!
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus! Merry Christmas...
Merry Christmas! You are such a lovely guy!
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus! Merry Christmas...
Gawd I love yoooou!! i-i-i-i-I love yooooou!!

From the tip of your mistletoes,
All the way up to that white and wonderful beard
I love everything about you! A bunch of love!
