(Instrumental opening)

Call me Saint Nicholas
Call me old Claus
Right at this moment
I'm up for the cause.
Ready for Christmas
Polished the sleigh
Reindeer are primed
Gearing up for the day.
Sometimes folks wonder
how I go so fast.
Am I a magic
Ghost of Christmas Past
to get it all done in one night?

Darling, you should know
that I go through jet streams
to get the presents
to kids 1 to 13.
And if you're 14 or more
I've got connections in stores.
Darling, you should know
that I go through jet streams.

Sometimes, it's tiring.
Sometimes, it's hard.
Maybe your Dad should
use his VISA card.
Maybe I'll make it
onto your roof.
Put out your fire
or I might go POOF!
Tell you, it's better
to give than to take
but I don't mind
getting cookies or cake
in exchange for giving to youth!

Darling, you should know
that I go through jet streams
to get the presents
to kids 1 to 13.
Just you be sure, Christmas morn
you thank the King who's newborn.
Darling, you should know
that I go through jet streams.

Out of the darkness
on through the night
led on by Rudolph's red nose.
Putting the goodies
in each good girl and good boy's "hose."
I've got a bag full of presents, not light
coming apart at the seams.
Eager to please
on holy night
and so I go through jet streams!

(Instrumental break)

And if you're 14 or more
I've got connections in stores.
Darling, you should know
that I go through jet streams.

Yes, you should know
that I go through jet streams
to get the presents
to kids 1 to 13.
Just you be sure, Christmas morn
you thank the King who's newborn.
Darling, you should know
that I go through jet streams.

Now you know how
Now you know how

Now you know how
Now you know how
(Repeat 'till fade)
