How he [D7] came to life one [G] day [G7]

For [D] when they placed it on his head

He be-[A7]gan to dance a-[D7]round [D7] Oh

Now be-[D7]fore I melt a-[G]way” [D7]

[G] Down to the [G7] village with a [C] broomstick in his [G] hand Runnin’ [C] here and there all a-[G]round the square

Sayin’ [D7] “Catch me if you [G] can” [G7]

He [C] led them down the [Bm] streets of town

Right [C] to the [D7] traffic [G] cop And he [D] only paused a moment

[G] Frosty the [G7] Snowman had to [C] hurry on his [G] way But he [C] waved goodbye sayin’ [G] “Don’t you cry

I’ll be [D7] back again some [G] day”

But [D7] as for me and Grandpa we be-[G]lieve / [F][C] / [G]

She’d been drinking too much [D7] eggnog [D7] [D7] And we begged her not to [G] go [G]

[G7] But she forgot her medi-[C]cation [C] And she [D7] staggered out the door into the [G] snow [G]

[Em] When we found her Christmas [Bm] morning [Bm]

[D7] At the scene of the at-[G]tack [G] [G7] She had hoof-prints on her [C] forehead [C]

And in-[D7]criminating Claus marks on her [G] back 2 / 1 2 /




Now we’re all so proud of [D7] Grandpa [D7] [D7] He’s been taking this so [G] well [G]

[G] See him in there watching [C] football [C] Drinking [D7] beer and playing cards with Cousin [G] Mel [G]

[Em] It’s not Christmas without [Bm] Grandma [Bm]

[D7] All the family’s dressed in [G] black [G] [G7] And we just can’t help but [C] wonder [C]

Should we [D7] open up her [D7] gifts or send them back (Send them back!) 2 /




Now the goose is on the [D7] table [D7] [D7] And the pudding made of [G] fig [G]

[G7] And the blue and silver [C] candles [C] That would [D7] just have matched the hair in Grandma’s [G] wig [G]

[Em] I’ve warned all my friends and [Bm] neighbors [Bm]

[D7] Better watch out for your-[G]selves [G] [G7] They should never give a [C] license [C]

To a [D7] man who drives a [D7] sleigh and plays with elves 2 / 1 2 /


[G] Walking home from our house Christmas [C] Eve [C] Now [C] you can say there’s no such thing as [G] Santa [G]

But [D7] as for me and Grandpa we be-[G]lieve

My Mommy And Santa Claus Written by Clyde W. Beavers (as recorded by Lonnie and Lottie)

INTRO: / 1 2 / 1 2 / [F] / [F]

Well I saw [F] Mommy in her night gown, she was jumpin’ all around [F] Twistin’ with old Santa [C7] Claus

The [C7] record kept a-playin’, Mommy kept a-sayin’ Old [C7] Santa wasn’t built for the [F] cause

His [F] tummy kept a-shakin’, Mommy kept a-makin’

[F] Jokes about the look in his [C7] eye I’ll [C7] make a little bet, I’ll never forget

Mommy [C7] twistin’ with Santa that [F] night [F]

Well it was [F] Christmas night, and all was quiet

And [F] I was in my bed a-[C7]sleep And [C7] something woke me from the other room

So I [C7] thought I’d better take a little [F] peek

I [F] sneaked up to, the old keyhole And [F] took a little look in-[C7]side

And the [C7] sight I saw, then shocked me so I’d [C7] like to jump out of my [F] hide [F]

There was my [F] Mommy in her night gown, she was jumpin’ all around

[F] Twistin’ with old Santa [C7] Claus The [C7] record kept a-playin’, Mommy kept a-sayin’

Old [C7] Santa wasn’t built for the [F] cause

His [F] tummy kept a-shakin’, and Mommy kept a-makin’


Mommy [C7] twistin’ with Santa that [F] night [F] / [F]/ [F]

Well then I [F] cracked the door, stuck my head inside To [F] try to get a better [C7] view

And then I [C7] stubbed my toe, and I fell inside But I [C7] got another look or [F] two [F]

There was my [F] Mommy in her night gown, she was jumpin’ all around

[F] Twistin’ with old Santa [C7] Claus The [C7] record kept a-playin’, Mommy kept a-sayin’

Old [C7] Santa wasn’t built for the [F] cause

His [F] tummy kept a-shakin’, and Mommy kept a-makin’


Mommy [C7] twistin’ with Santa that [F] night [F] Mommy kept a-twistin’, Santa kept a-twistin’
