G                                             C   
Santa looked like daddy, or daddy looked like him 
                              D                            G 
It's not the way I had him pictured, Santa was a much too thin 
                                                            C 
He didn't come down the chimney, so momma must have let him in 
                          D                               G 
Santa looked a lot like daddy, or daddy looked a lot like him 

G                                                                      C 
Well, they thought I was fast a sleepin', they thought I was tucked in bed 
                                D                                 G 
They never thought I'd come a peepin', or that I'd hear what was said 
                                                           C 
Santa put his arm around mama, and mama put her arm around him 
                          D                         G 
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy, I'm a gonna tell on him 

Repeat Chorus 
G                                                              C  
I never saw Dancer or Prancer, I never heard the sleigh bells ring 
                           D                                   G 
I never saw the Red Nosed reindeer, like they show on the TV screen 
G                                                                   C 
But he sure brought a lot of presents, so Santa Claus he must have been 
                                 D                                G 
Well he sure looked a lot like Daddy, and daddy looked a lot like him 

Repeat Chorus 

G                                             C 
Santa looked like daddy, or daddy looked like him 
                            D                              G 
It's not the way I had him pictured, Santa was a much too thin 
                                                            C 
He didn't come down the chimney, so momma must have let him in (Fade Out)
