C F G7
I wish I was Santa Claus
C F G7
I'd take all the whole year off
F G7
Except on Christmas day
C F
I'd go flyin' on my sleigh
C G7 C
I wish I was Santa Claus
Am C
I'd give away all the toys my little elves make
Am C
And leave them for the children of the world
Am C
I wish I could be there with em' when they all wake
Dm G7
To see the happy little boys and girls
C F G7
I wish I was Santa Claus
C F G7
With a belly that was big and soft
F G7
I'd go flyin' out on my sleigh
C F
Have Rudolph lead the way
C G7 C
I wish I was Santa Claus
Repeat
F G7
I'd go out flyin' on my sleigh
C F
Have old Rudolph lead the way
C G7 C
I wish I was Santa Claus
