[Spoken Intro: Donnie Wahlberg]
I hope everybody’s having a merry Christmas
I know I am, hey
I feel good, I feel alright, hey!

[Verse 1: Donnie Wahlberg]
Last night, I couldn’t believe my eyes, y’all
I saw a big fat man in a red disguise, y’all
He had a fuzzy white beard and big black boots
He had a pack on his back and red caboose, now
Check this out
I tried to sleep, but my eyes wouldn’t shut
You wouldn’t believe it mama, guess what

[Chorus: NKOTB]
Last night I saw Santa Claus
Sneakin’ out of my back door
Last night I saw Santa Claus
What’s he got in his great big bag for me?
What’s he got for me?

[Verse 2: Donnie Wahlberg]
He had crazy long hair and a red guitar, y’all
I never knew Santa Claus was a rock and roll star, now
Look-a-here, hey
I asked my mama could I join his band
She just screamed and yelled, she don’t understand

[Chorus: NKOTB]
Last night I saw Santa Claus
Sneakin’ out of my back door
Last night I saw Santa Claus
What’s he got in his great big bag for me?
What’s he got for me?
I wonder what he’s got for me

[Bridge: Joey McIntyre & Jonathan Knight]
Hey, Jon
What’s Santa doin’?
He’s pulling something out of his bag
What is it?
Uh, it looks like, a saxophone
Hey, Santa!

[Bridge: Donnie Wahlberg]
Look-a-here
I tried to sleep, but my eyes wouldn’t shut
I told all my friends, guess what

[Chorus: NKOTB]
Last night I saw Santa Claus
Sneakin’ out of my back door
Last night I saw Santa Claus
What’s he got in his great big bag for me?
What’s he got for me?
I wonder what he’s got for me

[Outro: Donnie Wahlberg]
Blow, Santa!
Can’t even sleep at night
Talkin’ ‘bout Santa Claus
Hey, ooh
Play it one more time
Hey
Sounds so good
Hey fellas, let’s jam
