Daddy, I'm afraid of going to bed, Santa might miss me tonight. 
D                     G          D                   A           D 
He mightn't bother to come visit me but go on to the bright city lights. 
            G         D                                                 A A7 
As gently I wiped the tears from his eyes, I remembered the fears of my youth. 
      D                      G       D                     A             D 
So, I knew that the time had finally come to tell my young boy the whole truth.

I said, "Son, there's no need to worry. There's no need to bother and fuss. 
          D                           G                   A                     D 
We're the first one's that Santa will visit. Yeah, 'cause Santa's a Bayman like us".

But, Dad, if you say he's a Bayman, why does he live at the North Pole all year? 
      D                          G       D                 A            D 
Well, Son, there was nothing for Santa to do. Resettlement moved him up there. 
D                                                               A           A7 
Remember last Christmas Eve, Son? We left him some cake when we all went to bed 
     D                        G              D                        A               D 
But, when we got up, b'y, the cake was still there! For he'd eaten me cods heads instead!!

Now, I'll prove to you, Son, he's a Bayman by showing the company he keeps. 
D                                G                         A                         D 
Why the socks that he wears were knit, so I hear, from the wool off of Aunt Martha's sheep. 
D                                                                    A A7 
Dad, I knew all along he's a Bayman. There's really no need for this chat. 
     D                         G                    A                   D 
Last Christmas, ole Santa gave Mommy a kiss and she only lets Baymen do that.
