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
Would-a 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
