about
Fun fact about the song: I actually thought Santa was called “Santa Clause” before I wrote this song and kept the title.
lyrics
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Support him in spite of all his flaws?
What would he be without his beard?
Just a guy in red that’s weird
Only while his snowflake thaws
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Is he a rebel without a cause?
With a total lack of relations
Like a doctor’s waiting room without patience Have you tried his pasta sauce?
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
What does this all mean?
What’s with all this wonder?
Is it all a dream?
Or am I waking from my slumber?
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Does he go on without a pause?
Is Rudolph’s nose burning red?
Do the other deer fill him with dread?
Does it make him sharpen his claws?
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Are you always grasping at straws?
Waiting for the final number
But you’ll never get it, is it any wonder?
Are you still awaiting that applause?
Oh, Do you believe in Santa Claus?
