Will find it hard to sleep tonight
[Bridge]
               Gm7 C7           Gm7   C7
They know that San—-ta's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
          Fm7           Bb7       Eb
And every mother's child is gonna spy
          Am7             D7          Dm7    G7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
