Heard a scream and right before my eyes
There was daddy swingin' by
Using those christmas lights like a jungle vine.
Can't repeat what I heard him say
'cause it's gettin' real close to christmas day
I'd take the chance but I'd know santa knows.
Santa knows everything I do.
He knows everything I say.
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong...
'cause santa knows.
Shakin' the gifts underneath the tree
Everything sounded so good to me
'til I raised up and that tree come a-tumblin' down.
Mama come a-runnin--had that look in her eyes
Woulda blamed it on the dog but I couldn't lie
I'd take the chance but I'd know santa knows.
Santa knows everything I do.
He knows everything I say.
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong...
'cause santa knows.
Granny's sugar cookies were sittin' on the shelf
Mama said "don't go helpin' yourself"
But I couldn't see the harm in takin' just one.
No one was lookin' the moment was right
I knew they'd be good 'n I could steal a bite
I'd take the chance but I'd know santa knows.
Santa knows everything I do.
He knows everything I say.
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong...
'cause santa knows.
Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong.
Can't take a chance.
Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong 'cause santa knows.
'cause santa knows.
