Lyrics
Independent Santa Claus
Independent Santa Claus
I'm an independent Santa Claus on this corner all day long.
I'll ring my bell and laugh for you, take my orders from your child.
But who will pay the rent for me, I'm living in the hall,
And the neighbors don't appreciate me being there at all.
Chorus:
Could you spare some Christmas money?
Could you spare a little love?
You will get your reward in heaven,
From the Santa Claus, above.
So ring your bells, sing your songs, laugh out loud, be Santa Claus
Ha ha ha, ho ho ho, laugh out loud, be Santa Clause.
People all pass by me, buying presents toys and dolls.
But no one has a dime for me, although I'm Santa claus.
Could you give me just a penny, could you spare a dime for love?
I'll ring my bell and laugh for you, you know I'm Santa Clause.
Chorus:
My name brings out the best in you, you're giving hearts wake up;
You're searching for the best gifts with happy Christmas thoughts.
Look deep into your being and find hidden what is sought...
Ring your bells, laugh and sing, you might be Santa Claus.
Chorus:
