How on, one 50 big and round and fat
And smoke so thick 1t can hide the trees
And never even cough, nor sneeze!
But IT'S Just like this: you're standing her,
Thinking Of things you cannot see
And wondering how such things can be d..
What Santa looks like, nor where he goes
In the heart that loves, in tie heart that
He may be here, and he may be there,
You are likely to ind him snywhsrs,
But really, folks are so very blind
They can't see sprites in the heart or mind
They can't see the spirit that sives ane

Like Jolly old man who 10 round and fat
And BEING sprs thsoash nnS se .s ss
OF course. ne can do what O spirit can do
But the Santa himself we never see
The Santa in YOU, the Santa In me.
