DEAR SANTA, I KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN,
HOW I LOVE TO SING THE SONGS.
AND EV'RYONE BECOMES A FRIEND
WHEN THEY START TO SING ALONG.
DEAR SANTA, I DON'T NEED A BRAND NEW TOY,
THE ONES I HAVE ARE WORKING FINE.
SO GIVE MY TOY TO ANOTHER GIRL OR BOY,
I HOPE YOU'LL GET IT THERE ON TIME
DEAR SANTA, WE NEED YOU HERE,
JUST GIVE US ONE PRESENT FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, LET THE SLEIGH BELLS RING,
DEAR SANTA, BRING PEACE AND LOVE THAT WOULD BE EV'RYTHING.
DEAR SANTA, WELL, I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
FROM JINGLE BELLS TO NO MORE WARS.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S MINDS
I KNOW YOU'LL GET IT THERE ON TIME
DEAR SANTA, WE NEED YOU HERE,
JUST GIVE US ONE PRESENT FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, LET THE SLEIGH BELLS RING,
DEAR SANTA, BRING PEACE AND LOVE THAT WOULD BE EV'RYTHING.
AND NOW IT'S TIME TO CHANGE OUR MINDS
I HOPE YOU'LL GET IT THERE ON TIME
DEAR SANTA, WE NEED YOU HERE,
JUST GIVE US ONE PRESENT FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, LET THE SLEIGH BELLS RING,
DEAR SANTA, BRING PEACE AND LOVE THAT WOULD BE EV'RYTHING.
DEAR SANTA, WE NEED YOU HERE,
JUST BRING US ONE PRESENT FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
DEAR SANTA. MERRY CHRISTMAS,
DEAR SANTA, HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
DEAR SANTA, DEAR SANTA, MERRY CHRISTMAS,
BRING US PEACE AND LOVE, BRING US PEACE AND LOVE.
