Story Behind The Song
My new album, "Yule Hear What I Hear" features several different styles of rock, pop and jazz, with some whimsical schmaltz and a few more serious moments thrown in. I wanted to create my unique versions of well-known classics, with one or two originals. I almost didn't do this song! But when the album was almost finished I realized that I wanted one more vocal track, fast and short, to balance out the album, and wrote "She's Mrs. Claus" in July.
Song Description
The multi-talented Mrs. Claus (sometimes known as Layla, sometimes as Jessica Mary) made Santa Claus the famous gift-bearing icon he is today.
She not only keeps Santa on track year after year, but she runs the famous workshop as well!

Lyrics
SHE'S MRS. CLAUS by Guy Sherman, 2014
Who's that gal with the rosy cheeks
A twinkle in her eye and a fine physique?
Who's that lady with the deep blue eyes
Encouraging St. Nick to get some exercise?
You don't hear much about the woman behind the man
She's known around the world, from Peru to Japan
She's Mrs. Claus
Let me tell you all about Mrs. Claus
She's a princess, a waitress, a baker, a teacher
Santa sure found himself a real fine creature!
It wasn't long before Santa went down on one knee
He took her hand and asked "Will you marry me?"
She smiled at him amazed, and gave her reply:
"Sure I'll be your wife when reindeer can fly."
They married in the forest, to each other of course
And had a big reception at F.A.O. Schwartz
Mrs. Claus
A rolling stone who gathers no moss, believe it or not
Her workshop is bigger than the Sears catalog
You can read all about it in her daily blog
When the little elves are hearing kisses
They know that it's Santa Claus and the missus
Her name is Jessica Mary, or maybe it's Layla
Made a red suit for Santa, she's an excellent tailor
Always playing tricks, one night on a whim
She locked him outta the house, but he came down the chimney
We really don't know much about the woman behind the man
But one thing's for certain, I'm a big fan of Mrs. Claus
Where would you be without Mrs. Claus?
Hey, I don't have to tell you who's really the boss
Cause everybody knows it's Mrs. Claus
She's Mrs. Santa Claus (Yes, Virginia, there is a Mrs. Claus)
She's Mrs. Claus
