Dearie deer, dearie deer
Dearie deer, dearie deer
What can the matter be?
I heard Santa had a fall
And got an injury, so
Dearie deer, dearie deer
If Santa did fall down
There’s only one thing that can mean
He will not come to town
That’s not very good news
Please tell me it’s not true
I’ll just keep on waiting
Until I hear from you
Dearie deer, dearie deer
What’s that you’re telling me?
Good news Santa did not fall
And got no injury, so
Dearie deer, dearie deer
Since he did not fall down
There’s only one thing that can mean
He will so come to town
