[LYRICS | BACK DOOR SANTA]

They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play

(Lookie here) I ain't like old Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year (oh, ho, ho, ho)
I ain't like old Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year
I come running with my sack, girl
Every time you call me dear

I keep some change in my pocket
In case the children at home
I toss them a few pennies
So that we can be alone
I leave the back door open
In case anybody smells a mouse
And won’t old Santa be in trouble
If there ain’t no chimney in the house

They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play

They call me Back Door Santa, oh baby
They call me Back Door Santa
Thats what they call me,
They call me Back Door Santa
Somebody called me Back Door Santa
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play
