Down your chimney, across your room,
Santa Claus is coming tonight
Don't breathe a word to anyone
About your magic carpet flight
Darkened windows tell no tales
Close the doors and shutters tight
Are there presents, are there gifts?
Not if you turn on the light
When you're barely pushing 8,
Every day is Xmas Day
As soft as whispers on your ears,
As dark as shadows round your eyes,
Santa doesn't want your tears,
Santa doesn't want your lies
When you're very nearly 8,
Every day is Xmas Day
When you're very nearly 8,
Every day is Xmas Day et seq
