Louis Armstrong 'Zat You, Santa Claus?
[Intro]
'Zat You, Santa Claus?
[Verse 1]
Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing
But I pause because
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
[Verse 2]
Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest spark out
Pardon my clackin' jaws!
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
[Refrain 1]
Are you bringing a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me?
Then it's just what I've been waiting for
Would you mind slipping it under the door?
[Verse 3]
Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling?
My legs feel like straws
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who's there, who is it? Are you stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
[Refrain 2]
Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare
Now stop teasing cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way
[Verse 5]
Bet I can see ole Santa in the keyhole
I'll get to the cause
One peek and I'll try there; oh oh, there's an eye there!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
[Outro]
Please, please, pity my knees!
Say that's you, Santa Claus!
That's him alright!
