Waiting For Santa

My brother told me you’re not real and sissy said that too But Santa I know they are wrong and I will wait for you I hung my stocking on the hearth; it’s waiting for you there And since they are so little I thought I’d hang up a pair Mommy is making cookies so you’ll have a snack to eat Daddy said make chocolate chip, the kind that’s semi-sweet I don’t know how my Daddy knows what cookies you like best I think he hopes when you are done that he’ll get all the rest Our chimney looks so tiny that I hope you don’t get stuck To get all of my presents down you’ll need a lot of luck Mommy told me not worry that you will find a way Then she smiled at Daddy to see just what he would say My Daddy told me sometimes you put toys together here Just like the new bicycle that you brought for me last year You must have had a hard time ‘cause I thought I heard you yell It sounded like you hurt your hand but the bike was really swell Did Daddy help you build it? ‘Cause it sounded like his shout Next day he had a Band-Aid on, so what’s that all about ? When I asked him what happened, it was really a surprise ‘Cause I thought I saw your twinkle Santa, in my Daddy’s eyes I just don’t understand this year why Daddy looked so tired When he heard all the things I want said “assembly required” But anyway I know you’ll come, ‘cause Mom and Daddy said That I have been a real good boy and now I’m off to bed
