Ooh, yeah, yeah, mhm

I was walking home on Christmas eve
The whole neighborhood was fast asleep
The snow was falling, coming down hard
The place looked like a picture post card
And when my house came into view
I noticed something up on the roof
You can't imagine my surprise
When I looked closer and realized

It was Santa on the rooftop
And our house was Santa's first roof stop
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse
Didn't make a sound
Santa got ready to make his way down
He had one foot in the chimney
Destination, our brand new Christmas tree
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop

I tried to get home right away
But I was just a little too late
The gifts were laid out under the tree
But no sign of Mr. SC
I ran over to the fireplace
But there was nothing but an empty space
Got everybody up out of bed
Their eyes opened wide when I said

I saw Santa on the rooftop
And our house was Santa's first roof stop
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse
Didn't make a sound
Santa got ready to make his way down
He had one foot in the chimney
Destination, our brand new Christmas tree
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop

Some people think the man's a myth
Had my doubts, I admit
Now how can I criticize
When somebody says with that look in their eyes

I saw Santa on the rooftop
And our house was Santa's first roof stop
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse
Didn't make a sound
Santa got ready to make his way down
One foot in the chimney
Destination, our brand new Christmas tree, yeah
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop

Oh, yeah
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop
Whoa, when I said I saw Santa on the rooftop
I saw Santa, yeah
Santa on the rooftop (on the rooftop)

Hello, Mr. Saint Nick
Won't you come on down (oh, yeah) and gimme some, ho ho ho?
I saw Santa (come on Santa, boy) on the rooftop
Bring it over here, mmh that's, right, Santa
Lay it on me (oh), woo
Santa on the rooftop
Woo
Santa on the rooftop
I saw Santa
Santa on the rooftop
