Santa Knows

Santa Knows
Heard a scream and right before my eyes
there was daddy swingin' by
using those christmas lights like a jungle vine.
can't repeat what i heard him say
'cause it's gettin' real close to christmas day
i'd take the chance but i'd know santa knows.
Santa knows everything i do.
he knows everything i say.
so i ain't gonna do nuthin wrong...
'cause santa knows.
Shakin' the gifts underneath the tree
everything sounded so good to me
'til i raised up and that tree come a-tumblin' down.
mama come a-runnin--had that look in her eyes
woulda blamed it on the dog but i couldn't lie
i'd take the chance but i'd know santa knows.
Santa knows everything i do.
he knows everything i say.
so i ain't gonna do nuthin wrong...
'cause santa knows.
Granny's sugar cookies were sittin' on the shelf
mama said "don't go helpin' yourself"
but i couldn't see the harm in takin' just one.
no one was lookin' the moment was right
i knew they'd be good 'n i could steal a bite
i'd take the chance but i'd know santa knows.
Santa knows everything i do.
he knows everything i say.
so i ain't gonna do nuthin wrong...
'cause santa knows.
Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong.
can't take a chance.
ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong 'cause santa knows.
'cause santa knows.
