Gary Allan: It Must Have Been Ol' Santa Claus

I think I saw ol' Santa
Through my window Christmas eve
My eyes were really droopy
But I really do believe
It must've been ol' Santa
'Cause I saw his big red hat
And I know my mom and dad
Can't fly like that, no way,
I know my Mom and Dad
Can't fly like that.

And then I heard some footsteps
In the hall outside my door
The same ol' Christmas trick
My dad had played since I was four
He stands outside my bedroom
Yelling Ho! Ho! Ho! because
He knows I don't believe
In Santa Claus, no way,
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus.

I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
Every year he tries to fool me
But I'm a big boy now
I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh.
No way!

So I went back to my bed and
I curled up nice and tight
I stared out of my window and
I looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden,
Through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by
And smiling at me

Chorus:
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you

Then I heard ol' Rudolph
Tellin' me to come outside
He told me that ol' Santa
Wanted me to take a ride
I climbed out of my window and
I jumped onto his sleigh
And then ol' Santa took me up and away,
Santa took me up, up and away

We flew high above the rooftops
Of my sleepy town below
I saw my big red school house
And the town square picture show
It was really past my bedtime
And so ol' Santa said
Little boys like you should be in bed

So I hollered Ho! Ho! Ho!
And I put on Santa's hat
Then he let me hold the reins for awhile
We pulled up to my window
And I jumped back in my room
And I waved goodbye to Santa, with a smile

When I woke up Christmas morning
Well, it was clear and bright
My parents said my window
Had blown open in the night
I smiled as I told them
That it must've been the cat
And they asked me where
I got my big red hat, Oh, yeah,
They asked me where
I got my big red hat.

Chorus:
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!...
