Please don’t tell our parents that we were bad boys
We don’t need to hide ourselves in a house of toys
Don’t tell our grandparents that times have changed
We don’t need to read newspapers filled with all they think
Can be strange, don’t tell Santa
Can be sad, don’t tell Santa
Can be shy, don’t tell Santa
I don’t cry, don’t tell Santa

Looking for a place to stay and for a way to be
We don’t want to be the children in your cup of tea
We can cross an ocean when we’re sound asleep
Mom and dad have lost their way in Cinderella’s dream

Now it’s dark, don’t tell Santa
I’m a spark, don’t tell Santa
Met the wolf, don’t tell Santa
I’m a ghost, don’t tell Santa
We melt together in the sunshine
We all are different, don’t tell Santa
We can cause trouble we do sometimes
Hope you forgive us don’t tell Santa!
