If There Were No Santa Claus



If there were no Santa Claus
there would be fewer joys
If there were no merry cause
there would be fewer toys

If there were no Santa Claus
there would be fewer kicks
If there were no legend cause
there would be fewer picks

If there were no Santa Claus
there would be fewer thrills
If there were no divine cause
there would be fewer frills

If there were no Santa Claus
there would be fewer smiles
If there were no lovely cause
there would be fewer styles

If there were no Santa Claus
there would be fewer lifts
If there were no joyous cause
there would be fewer gifts

If there were no Santa Claus
there would be fewer gleams
If there were no festive cause
there would be fewer dreams.
