[Intro]
You know what pop?
What's that son?
Christmas just isn't gonna be the same this year
Why is that?
'Cause Santa's got a brand new bag!
Come on, jump up, oh

[Chorus]
Sock it to me Santa, you know what I like
Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a bike
Christmas just won't be a drag
Santa's got a brand new bag

[Verse 1]
Don't you dare let those children bring you down
You gotta spread those toys all over town
My stocking's all hung so you can see
Don't hang me up Santa, lay some toys on me

[Chorus]
Sock it to me Santa, you know where it's at
Sock it to me Santa, I want a baseball bat
Christmas just won't be a drag
Santa's got a brand new bag

[Verse 2]
I say come on Dancer, come on Prancer
A brand new Santa's got to be the answer
Come on Comet, and come on Cupid
Don't just stand there lookin' stupid

[Bridge]
He's got a bright red cape and a white mustache
(Sock it to me Santa)
He's got lots of toys but no time for trash
(Sock it to me Santa)
Oh, and he's dressed real warm from his head to his toes
(Sock it to me Santa)
Yeah, he's lost a little weight but his jelly still rolls
(Sock it to me Santa)

[Chorus]
Sock it to me Santa
You heard what I said
Sock it to me Santa
C'mon, bring me a sled
Christmas just won't be a drag
'Cause Santa's got a brand new bag

[Outro]
Whoa, hey
Sock it to me Santa (Oh, c'mon Santa)
Sock it to me Santa (We're riding my socks)
Sock it to me Santa (Yeah, c'mon Santa)
Sock it to me Santa (Oh)
Sock it to me Santa (Oh yeah)
Sock it to me Santa
Sock it to me Santa (Oh yeah)
Sock it to me Santa

Bob Seger

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
