The Santa Lie

Presents were hiding in my Mommy’s room Each and every one of them I saw Appeared underneath the Christmas tree Saying they were all from Santa Claus I smelled the cookies on Dad’s breathe And one night I saw it for myself When he thought that I was sleeping Dad put that elf up on the shelf They may think that I don’t know But the lies to me are clear Santa Claus has been so busy He hired my folks to help this year Don’t worry, I’ll stay quiet Their secret is safe with me How Santa got to them my Christmas list Is the only unsolved mystery Maybe next year, I’ll help Santa And get the presents for Mom and Dad I’ll keep a close eye on them all year long Making sure that they aren’t bad And I’ll pretend that I saw Santa And say I saw Rudolph’s nose shining real bright It seems so very important to the both of them That I think they went to sleep with me that night And Santa, I understand You’ve got lots of kids to see So I whole heartedly endorse your policy Of employing my Dad and my Mommy Now I am wondering about that other guy Wouldn’t that one be real funny If Mommy and Dad were also hired To help the Easter Bunny
