"Oh, look, it's Santa Claus"
"Have you been good?"
"Yes, of course"
"And have you learned a poem?"
"No"
"Well, then I can just move on"
"No, wait"

Dear good Santa Claus
Please don't leave
Even if you're in a hurry
We want to see something first
Show me your face again
Something's not right
But gradually I'm starting to
Understand everything

"What's wrong?"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"What's the matter with you?"
Da-da-da-da-da-da
"What's wrong?"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"What's the matter with you?"

Dear good Santa Claus
I have to complain
Could you please
Explain something to me?
Why is the nose there
Exactly like Dad's?
Even the eyes look like
They would be Dad's

"That's quite something"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"I've been recognized"
Da-da-da-da-da-da
"That's quite something"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"I've been recognized"
Da-da-da-da-da-da

Dear good Santa Claus
This is not funny
We're supposed to be nice and well-behaved
And you're doing such things
Slowly it's getting too much for me
That's Dad's mouth
You probably think you can
Play such jokes on us?

"There's no point"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"I have to leave"
Da-da-da-da-da-da
"There's no point"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"I have to leave"
Da-da-da-da-da-da

Dear good Santa Claus
No, you can't leave
You look so sad
I don't like to see that
That's not what we meant
That someone ends up crying
We still love you
Can't you understand that?

"Well, well"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"Then I'll stay"
Da-da-da-da-da-da
"Well, well"
La-da-da-da-da-da
"Then I'll stay"
Da-da-da-da-da-da
