Santa
Dad, if you see Santa, please tell him for me
That I've been as good as good can be
I always eat my spinach and peas
And I never forget to say "thanks" and "please"
I work hard in school to get a good grade
And I do extra chores without getting paid
I wipe my feet when I come indoors
So I don't track mud on Mom's clean floors
I brush my teeth and comb my hair
And I don't leave my toys scattered everywhere
I wash the dog and play with the cat
And I let little brother wear my baseball hat
I help you on Saturday when you work in the yard
Wow, this being good is really hard
When it's time for bed, I don't fuss and cry
I just fall asleep to your lullaby
Dad, if I see Santa, I'll tell him for you
That you deserve something nice
Because you've been good too
