No joy. Good luck. Tom has managed to keep most of his lyrics off the web. You may have to buy the CD (A Child's Christmas) if nobody knows them. DT/Mudcat has the largest selection of Paxton lyrics on line. The other site that used to have a lot has removed all the lyrics.

So is that who ate the cookies of the Mudcatters who can't post under their own names without "guest" popping up?

Copied from Lyrics Playground:

HOW MANY COOKIES CAN SANTA CLAUS EAT?
Tom Paxton

1. Last Christmas Eve in our house before we went to bed,
Daddy smiled at Momma and this is what he said:
"It's a long, long night for Santa around the world and back.
I believe Saint Nick'll get hungry, I believe he'd like a snack."

2. Sister, get a glass of milk. Brother, get the jar.
Look inside and tell me how many ginger snaps there are.
We're leaving some for Santa. What a friendly thing to do,
For it's hungry work he's doing and we don't want to leave too few.
So,

CHORUS: How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
Can Santa Claus eat? Can Santa Claus eat?
How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
How hungry will he be?
We'd better pile the plate so high
With cookies nearly to the sky
To feed Saint Nick so he can fly
To kids like you and me.

3. We found some oatmeal cookies, some peanut butter too,
And though we had no choc'late chip, Dad said these would do.
We left them by the chimney, with a little note that said:
"With love to Santa from the kids all fast asleep in bed." CHORUS

4. Next morning we were happy, with presents 'round the tree.
We were so excited, that it took a while to see
That the glass was empty, and on the plate one crumb,
And a note from Santa saying, "Thank you, yum, yum, yum!" CHORUS
