Lyrics
A Dad For Christmas
V1
A year ago I found a sheet of paper
Clutched in my Tommy's little fist
And on it with a purple crayon
He'd written down his Christmas list
Chorus:
I want a Dad for Christmas
A Dad who knows fun things to do
I want a Dad for Christmas
Please bring one that Mom likes too
V2
Well I was feeling sad that Saturday
As we ran out the door
Headed to the mall to visit Santa
I knew what my boy'd be asking for
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I saw he was a young guy
'neath that Santa suit
About as old as me
And he was kind of cute
Tommy whispered in his ear
Santa turned my way
saw a twinkle in his eye
As he heard Tommy say
(Chorus)
V3
Tommy did all right last Christmas
He's the envy of his friends because
Romance came down the chimney
Yes, I married Santa Claus
Chorus 2:
He got a Dad for Christmas
A Dad who knows fun things to do
He got a Dad for Christmas
And Mommy got someone too.
Repeat Chorus 2
