"Santa Moved the Spoons," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:

I spent all day baking cookies

For Santa and his merry elves.

Then I folded a napkin with two spoons and a knife.

I’d never been so excited in all my life,

And when I woke up in the morning

The Christmas tree was overflowing and . . .

 

CHORUS:

Santa moved the spoons.

He ate each and every crumb.

Momma said she gave the gifts,

But Daddy I’m not dumb.

It was Mr. Claus, and I know this because,

I heard Rudolph on the roof,

And Santa moved the spoons.

 

VERSE:

It’s not like the Easter Bunny.

Can’t come close to a Leprechaun. 

I waited and watched for a clue they were there,

But all I found was Momma’s brown hair.

Now when I look at Grandma’s silver,

I have tingles, chills, and shivers ‘cause . . . 

 

CHORUS:

Santa moved the spoons.

He ate each and every crumb.

Momma said she gave the gifts,

But Daddy I’m not dumb.

It was Mr. Claus, and I know this because,

I heard Rudolph on the roof,

And Santa moved the spoons.

 

BRIDGE:

If Momma and Daddy still don’t believe,

Can I test for fingerprints, please?

Santa’s hands were everywhere

From the fireplace to the rocking chair, oh . . .

 

CHORUS:

Santa moved the spoons.

He ate each and every crumb.

Momma said she gave the gifts,

But Daddy I’m not dumb.

It was Mr. Claus, and I know this because,

I heard Rudolph on the roof,

And Santa moved the spoons.

 

TAG:

I heard Rudolph on the roof, 

And Santa moved the spoons.

Yes, Santa moved the spoons!
