Lyrics
SANTA SAMBA
SANTA CLAUS WENT ON VACATION
FOR A LITTLE GETAWAY
HE'D BEEN WORKIN THROUGH DECEMBER
DOUBLE TIME TIL CHRISTMAS DAY
SO HE FOUND A TINY ISLAND AND A CABIN BY THE BY
EVERYBODY RECOGNIZE HIM AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY
CHORUS
HEY THERE MR. SANTA -YOU BEEN GOOD TO ME
YOU JUST SIT THERE AND RELAX BENEATH THAT MANGO TREE
HEY THERE SANTA SANTA
YOU'RE A WARM AND HEARTY SOUL
YOU'D HAVE TO BE TO LIVE AT THE NORTH POLE
SANTA LEARNED TO DO THE SAMBA
AND MERENGUE TO AND FRO
WHEN HE DID THE CHA CHA CHA WE ALL COULD HEAR HIM HO HO HO !
EVERY NIGHT THERE ON THE ISLAND HE WAS OUT THERE HAVING FUN
EVERY AFTERNOON WE COULD SEE HIM PLAYING DOMINOES IN THE SUN
2ND CHORUS
EVERYBODY FROM SANTA ROSA RIGHT ON DOWN TO SANTA CRUZ
THEY HEARD ABOUT OLD SANTA SANTA AND ALL THAT SANTA SANTA NEWS
AND THE SAID"FELICIDADES-FROM THE PLACES WHERE IT'S HOT"
"HOPE YOU TEACH EVERYBODY HOW TO DO THE SAMBA EVERYWHERE IT'S NOT!"
CHORUS
