Christmas is coming sooner than we know
And little Peter is hiding a Christmas secret
But he has to tell a little, 'cause you know that's how children are
And so Peter whispers to his old teddy bear (uh)
I saw Santa Claus kissing mom
Last night in the dark hallway (ah)
I myself had been put to bed
Like a nice little boy
But the door was ajar
And out of the duvets I jumped
So I saw Santa Claus kissing mom
No, she did not get angry, no, not at all
But oh, how father would have laughed
If he had seen
Santa Claus kissing mom like that
For a long time, the two stood together
And mom pulled up Santa's doublet, while she laughed
She said he was unrecognizable, but what nonsense
I knew him right away on his beard
Yes I did
I saw Santa Claus kissing mom
Last night in the dark hallway (ah)
I myself had been put to bed (put to bed)
Like a nice little boy
But the door was ajar
And out of the duvets I jumped
I saw Santa Claus kissing mom (kissing mom, yes)
No, she did not get angry, no, not at all
But oh, how father would have laughed (would have laughed)
If he had seen
Santa Claus kissing mom like that
It was him, I know, I saw him
Kissing mom (kissing mom)
It was him, I know, I saw him
Kissing mom, yes, kissing mom
It was him, I know, I saw him (know what I saw)
Kissing mom (yes, I know what I saw)
It was him I know, I saw him
Kissing mom
