Señor Santa Claus

(Lawton Williams)



Dear Señor Santa Claus I think I tell you what

I would like for Christmas and I hope you wont forgot

I only want a peso that I can have for mine

To get my señorita something for Christmastime



I don't believe you read the card last Christmas that I sent

You come to see the kids across the street and then you went

Dear Señor Santa Claus I think me understand

Sometimes the toys all gone before you reach the Rio Grande



Dear Señor Santa Claus I tell you what I think

I no got a stocking', I'll set out my piggy bank

So please bring me peso that I can have for mine

To get my señorita something for Christmastime



On Christmas eve I watch for you and I no sleep a wink

If I no get Lolita something she feel sad I think

So please Señor Santa Claus this Christmas be so grand

If I get peso to buy a ring for my Lolita's hand



I don't know what I buy for her, I think I buy a rose

So she can wear it in her hair most everywhere she goes

Please Señor Santa Claus this Christmas be so grand

If I get peso to buy a ring for my Lolita's hand (x2)
