The door's unlocked And you don't even have to knock Or you can use the fireplace I'll be waiting either way You come and go And no one is supposed to know But ever since you caught my stare You know I know that you are real Well Santa I've been thinking And I'm just in need one thing You to bring me, something shiny Like diamond ring Just a little something from Tiffany's Or a big ruby You know that has always looked good on me I won't tell (I wont't tell anyone) Anyone I've been good all year long Oh Santa make my Christmas Eve 4 Carats please Oh oh Oh It's getting late I know you have your rounds to make But I've been waiting up for you And now the clock has just struck 2 I'm looking out my windows Looking for a red nose My heart's sinking Don't forget me Oh my diamond ring Just a little something from Tiffany's Or a big ruby You know that has always looked good on me I won't tell (I wont't tell anyone) Anyone I've been good all year long Oh Santa make my Christmas Eve 4 Carats please Oh oh Oh oh Mm, something sparkly Yellow canaries Ooh yea yea Mm, I'm waiting patiently Santa don't forget me Ooh don't forget me! Oh my diamond ring Just a little something from Tiffany's Or a big ruby You know that has always looked good on me I won't tell (I wont't tell anyone) Anyone I've been good all year long Oh Santa make my Christmas Eve 4 Carats please Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh
