Presence under the tree, I only took a few peeks When you said naughty or nice, exactly what did you mean? I put out cookies and milk, but I couldn't help myself Before I knew it, the dozen turned to crumbs But can I stay on the nice list? Santa, tell me the secret Except for a couple times, I've been pretty good Can I stay on the nice list? I passed a snowball fight, you know I had to join in And I put one right between their eyes I spiked the egg not good, I stole some gingerbread I'll never do it again, Santa, I swear that I'll change But can I stay on the nice list? Santa, tell me the secret Except for a couple times, I've been pretty good Can I stay on the nice list? Santa, is it so black and white? Santa, can't we just let it slide? When you said naughty or nice, did you really mean all of the time? Just some other time Can I stay on the nice list? Santa, tell me the secret Except for a couple times, I've been pretty good Can we just overlook this? Can't he just look the other way just once? Can I stay on the nice list?
