about

Basically a bonus track . A festive chanson about how after all his hard work Jolly old Saint Nick goes on vacation

lyrics

SANTA SAMBA
V1
Santa Claus went on vacation For a little getaway
He'd been working thru December
Double time til Christmas Day
So he found a tiny island and a cabin by the bay
Everybody recognized him and this is what they say

CHORUS
"Hey there Mr. Santa You been good to me
You just sit there and relax beneath that mango tree
Hey there Santa Santa
You're a warm and hearty soul.
You'd have to be to live at the North Pole"

V2
Santa learned to do the samba and merengue to and fro
When he did the Cha Cha Cha we all could hear him
"HO HO HO"
Every night there on the island he was out there having fun.
Every afternoon we could see him playing dominoes in the sun

CHORUS AND LIMBO DANCE BREAK
V3
Everybody from Santa Rosa right on down to Santa Cruz
Heard about old Santa Santa and all the Santa Santa news
So they said "Felicidades - from the places where it's hot
Hope you teach everybody how to do the samba
everywhere it's not"

FINAL CHORUS
"Hey there Mr. Santa -you been good to me
You just sit there and relax beneath that mango tree
Hey there Santa Santa you're a warm and hearty soul.
You'd have to be a polar bear
Wearing thermal underwear
You'd have to be to live
at the North Pole"

SANTA!
