What Is Santa Claus

詞：Stan Kenton

..Silent Night Holy Night

About this time every year the kids ask me

What is a Santa Claus

And I kinda smile and I remember when I was their age

And the wonderment and excitement that was Santa Claus

Comes back to me

This magical mystical creature

Who once a year brings so much happiness to so many people is with us again

And I remember

I remember what my mother used to tell me when I asked her about Santa Claus

She'd sit down and lift me to her lap and say

Son Santa Claus is many things

He's he's a world traveller a toy inventor a diplomat

And he has the biggest and best delivery system ever devised

He's a genius who can pack more sleds bicycles and dolls

And candy and blocks and toy cars and airplanes into one bag than anyone else

And he can even get a supersonic robot who will play with a little boy

In there too

He receives more mail than the President

Makes more trips than the Secretary of State

And he gives your daddy more funny neckties than he knows what to do with

He's seen everywhere standing on street corners in department stores

On billboards

And some even say they've seen him high in the sky in his sleigh

Santa Claus loves little children and and has seven wonderful reindeer

That go with him every year when he makes his visits around the world

He has more friends and more helpers than anyone else on earth

And he loves the cold weather so much that he lives at the North Pole

Best of all he doesn't ask much for his services just that all little girls and boys be good and fair and grow up that way to make the world a better place

And Santa's job a little easier

And so when the children ask me

What is a Santa Claus

I tell them tell them what my mother told me

And it makes them happy

And I think when my mother told me

It made her very very happy too

Sleep in heavenly peace
