SANTA CLAUS
As recorded by Bo Carter, 1938.

Now won't you listen here, baby; please listen to me:
Won't you let ol' Santy Claus come down the chimney tonight to me, you see?

CHORUS: Baby, please let ol' Santy Claus come down the chimney to me tonight,
'Cause I b'lieve what you Santy Claus bring me—hoo!—will just suit my own appetite.

Now I been around a many Santy Claus both day and night.
Haven't found no Santy Claus really suits my appetite.

Says when I get to usin' your Santy Claus, want to use him diff'rent ways.
I want to use your Santy Claus, baby, both night and day.

Now, if you let your Santy Claus come to me one time,
I'll tell your Santy Claus two dollars and one dime.

Now, I have hung up my socks, put on my nightgown.
Put out your fire and let ol' Santy come on down.
