"Santa Knows" lyrics

Heard a scream and right before my eyes
There was Daddy swingin' by
Using those Christmas lights like a jungle vine
Can't repeat what I heard him say
'Cause it's gettin' real close to Christmas Day
I'd take the chance but I'd know Santa knows

Santa knows everything I do
He knows everything I say
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong
'Cause Santa knows

Shakin' the gifts underneath the tree
Everything sounded so good to me
'Til I raised up and that tree come a-tumblin' down
Mama come a-runnin--had that look in her eyes
Woulda blamed it on the dog but I couldn't lie
I'd take the chance but I'd know Santa knows

Santa knows everything I do
He knows everything I say
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong
'Cause Santa knows

Granny's sugar cookies were sittin' on the shelf
Mama said "Don't go helpin' yourself"
But I couldn't see the harm in takin' just one
No one was lookin' the moment was right
I knew they'd be good 'n I could steal a bite
I'd take the chance but I'd know Santa knows

Santa knows everything I do
He knows everything I say
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong
'Cause Santa knows

Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong

Can't take a chance
Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong
'cause Santa knows
'Cause Santa knows
