When visions of those sugar-plums are running through your head
And television specials chestnuts roasting everywhere
Snowmen makes me nervous, magic hats upon their heads
I've got to grow a beard
So I'll stop shaving

'Cause I want to live like Santa Clause
Jolly and good like Santa Clause
I want to give
I want to fly through the night sky
With wind in my beard and my cap on my head

(Ho ho ho... ho)
(Ho ho ho... ho)

Reindeer have no difficulties keeping in the air
Many feel my Christian-only system isn't fair
Christmas day the children get their gifts, you bet they will
I will eat my cookies
Wash them down with chocolate milk
I'm workin' in the workshop I'm workin' with my hands, yeah
You should stay in bed and don't get up
If you hear my reindeer land, yeah

'Cause I want to live like Santa Clause
Jolly old elf Saint Nicholas
I want to give
I want to climb down the chimney
With toys in my sack and a smile on my face

I know this job has ups and downs. It's overwhelming
There's so many kids to visit
But I feel it
That I should fly around in a sled

(Ho ho ho... ho)
(Ho ho ho... ho)

When visions of those sugar-plums are running through your head
And television specials chestnuts roasting everywhere
Christmas day the children get their gifts, they surely will
I will eat my cookies
Wash them down with chocolate milk

Of course I'd have to make some
Public appearances, yeah
I'd like to visit shopping malls
Check up on my little fans, yeah

'Cause I want to live like Santa Clause
Jolly and good like Santa Clause
I want to give
I want to work in my workshop
Til next Christmas day with my elves by my side

I want to live like Santa Clause
Jolly and good like Santa Clause
I want to give
I want to work in my workshop
With wind in my beard.........

(Ho ho ho... ho)
(Ho ho ho... ho)
I want to live
(Ho ho ho... ho)
I want to live
(Ho ho ho... ho)

I want to live like Santa Clause
I want to live like Santa Clause

like Santa Clause
like Santa Clause
like Santa Clause
like Santa Clause
