Intro:
N.C.
Jimmy, I just came back from a lovely trip along the milky way
N.C.
I stopped off at the North Pole to spend the holiday
N.C.
I called on old, dear Santa Claus to see what I could see
N.C.
He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me
N.C.
Now Santa is a busy man, he has no time for play
N.C.
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
N.C.
You better write your letter now and mail it right away
N.C.
Because he's getting ready, his reindeers and his sleigh
