Mister Santa Claus

Of all the little boys and girls
For whom you travel ‘cross the world
I’m certain I’m the best.
I didn’t shout, I never pout
Behaved myself, there is no doubt
I passed your every test.
Just check your list, now look and see
I’m certain that you will agree
I’ve done all that I should.
I’ve mended all my little flaws
So, come on, Mister Santa Claus,
You know that I’ve been good!

	Santa Claus! Won’t you bring me toys
	And all those things that I enjoy
	I know you hear me, don’t be coy
	It should be understood.
	Santa Claus! I‘ve done all you said
	Now sugarplums dance in my head
	Oh, Santa please load up your sled
	You know that I’ve been good!

Of all the little girls and boys
Whom you’ll be bringing Christmas toys
I deserve the most.
I didn’t cry, and this is why:
To keep that twinkle in your eye.
Now I don’t mean to boast.
You’ve watched me sleeping and awake
So you should know, for goodness sake,
I’ve done all that I could.
Now, I’ll admit that you’re the boss
But come on, Mister Santa Claus,
You know I’ve been good!

	Santa Claus! Look and you will see
	And then I'm sure you will agree.
	I'm begging you on bended knee
	O Saint of Childhood!
	Santa Claus! I‘ve been unsurpassed
        In doing all that you have asked.
	Now the time has come at last!
	You know that I’ve been good!
