[Verse 1]
I want to be santa claus
I want to get all the toys
Just like santa claus i'd give them away
To all the girls and boys
Then if i could be santa claus
Coming through for everyone
And the gifts that i'd bring could make your heart sing
We'd have so much fun

[Chorus]
Santa claus is someone who comes just once a year
But i could be there every day, bringing christmas cheer

[[Verse 2]
I want to be santa claus
I want to ride in the sleigh
Then i'd fly through the air
And catch you a star tonight for christmas day

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If i could be santa claus
I'd make every dream come true
And sign every card exactly the same
With love from me to you
Oo -

[Outro]
(I want to be, i wanna be santa claus)
I want to be santa claus
(I want to be, i wanna be santa claus)
I want to be santa claus
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (i want to be santa claus)
I want to be santa claus
Merry christmas everybody!!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
"What would you like for christmas, little pudel?"
It's a waltz, it's a waltz and i'm happy

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
