Harry Connick, Jr. - Santa Claus (It Must’ve Been Ol’) lyrics

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, oh, no
(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

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

And 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 a while
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, yeah, yeah
(They asked me where I got my big red hat)
C'mon

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you (In the morning)

Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
(Early in the evening)
Happy Ho! Ho! Ho! to you!
(Merry Christmas everybody)
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! One more again
