Why is Santa stout

And why does his tummy stick out?

Do you think he tries                                                                              

Eating too many pies

Before their sell by date?

 

Do you think maybe Santa is thin?

It’s just a fat suit he’s in

It’s layered for heat

Right down to his feet

Inflates and he steps right in

 

Maybe it’s his house as well

With a glittery, jangly bell

He just slides down the shute

Inside his red suit                                                                                       

From outside no one can tell

 

No Santa’s a jolly big man

A great big bundle of love

He brings joy and cheer

As he flies round each year

And lands on your roof from above

 

So don’t forget on Christmas Eve night                                                      

Before you turn out the light

To leave out some sweets

Mince pies and treats

So Santa can have a wee bite

And remember he knows when you’re sleeping

Knows when you’re secretly peeping

So close those tired eyes

And when you arise

You’ll see all the gifts he’s been keeping!  (FOR YOU!)
