[Intro: Chorus]
Oooh, oooh
[Verse 1: Jimmy Boyd]
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep
Then I saw Mommy whisper to Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
But something wasn’t right,
So I ran into the night,
And grabbed the pistol that Daddy taught me how to fight.
[Chorus]
Oooh, oooh
[Verse 2: Jimmy Boyd & Chorus]
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
And it didn’t feel right in my mind
With the pistol in my hand,
I pulled the trigger on that man
But when the morning came,
I found out Daddy was gone, by my hand.
I saw Mommy crying over Daddy’s body,
Underneath the mistletoe last night
Oh, if I had only known,
That Daddy was home,
I wouldn’t have done what I did that fateful night.
[Outro: Chorus]
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
