Have you put the tinsel on the tree?

When he arrives you’ll be delighted

Is your stocking up for him to see?

If you look high up in the sky

You’ll see a root-veg flying by
F

We’ve spent the whole year waiting for  this  day

Santa baked potato’s on his way

Bb                   D#
It is really quite a site
D#
To see a spud so busy
Bb                        F
Two billion houses in one night

He must be getting dizzy
D#                             Bb
Please move your car so he can park his sleigh

(I picked a Yak up
   F
In case the reindeer need to take a break

A trumpet or a train set

A fake but very live-like snake
F
To make and wake up in a cold sweat

A mini ambulance to save the day

(I’m sure we’ve been twice to this town)
Gm
Baked potato, baked potato
C                    F
There was a scuffle, followed by further inspection
