A Much Younger Santa
Can't believe how young and dashing I was
At one time I was even a younger than that
Mom actually had to change my diaper
I know, I know, I'm so sophisticated now
It's beyond people's comprehension
That I was once a snotty nosed little know it all
Full of my own importance
We live and learn as the old saying goes
We're only one of seven billion inhabitants
My teen years were years of insecurities
So from these shy bashful beginnings
Emerged this handsome dude fighting off the girlies
Oops sorry! Lost it there!
Still dreaming of those days long ago
What we make of our lives is strictly our own doing
We can even rise to be famous
And be remembered for generation to come
It's all up to us, we are the masters of our own destiny
