Merle Haggard — I Wish I Was Santa Claus

I wish I was Santa Claus I'd take all the whole year off Except on Christmas day I'd go flyin' on my sleigh I wish I was Santa Claus I'd give away all the toys my little elves make And leave them for the children of the world I wish I could be there with em' when they all wake To see the happy little boys and girls I wish I was Santa Claus With a belly that was big and soft I'd go flyin' out on my sleigh Have Rudolph lead the way I wish I was Santa Claus I wish I was Santa Claus I'd take all the whole year off Except on Christmas day Go flyin' on my sleigh I wish I was Santa Claus I'd give away all the toys my little elves make And leave them for the children of the world I wish I could be there with em' when they all wake To see the happy little boys and girls I wish I was Santa Claus With a belly that was big and soft Go flyin' on my sleigh Have Rudolph lead the way I wish I was Santa Claus I'd go out flyin' on my sleigh Have old Rudolph lead the way I wish I was Santa Claus Wish I, wish I was old Santa...
