When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter

Songwriter: Johnny Marks;



When Santa Claus gets your letter,

You know what he will say:

"Have you been good the way you should

On ev'ry single day?"



When Santa gets your letter

To ask for Christmas toys,

He'll take a look in his good book

He keeps for girls and boys.



He'll stroke his beard, his eyes will glow,

And at your name he'll peer;

It takes a little time, you know,

To check back one whole year!



When Santa Claus gets your letter,

I really do believe,

You'll head his list, you won't be missed,

By Santa on Christmas Eve. 



(Instrumental)
