YOU KNOW THE DUDE

                    

         he’s a magical man

         from a magical land

         and in some way

         we all believe in him

         the coolest ol’ guy

         you’ll ever meet

         known the world over

         by so many names

         in these parts -

         Santa Claus

 

         yeah! Santa Claus!

         you know the dude

         that crazy old man

         with the long white beard

         some folks see him

         as really weird

         but he’s the love

         within us all

 

         on Christmas eve

         they track him on radar

         if you don’t believe

         turn on the evening news!

         Rudolph’s nose

         shines like a high beam

         for eight magic reindeer

         pulling Santa in his sleigh    

         gifts stuffed to the top

         of his bottomless sack

        

         no doubt about it

         the jolliest ol’ guy

         you’ll ever know

         makes everyone a kid

         on Christmas day

         and with a hardy ho ho ho!

         he’s on his way

         bringing smiles to faces

         all round the world

         yeah! Santa Claus!

         you know the dude
