Santa Mouse
[Chorus]
Who's the little friend on Santa's shoulder?
(Santa Mouse) Yeah
Who do we look for when it's colder?
(Santa Mouse)
He's the one who once was just a mouse without a name
'Til he did a deed so very kind when Christmas came
Who thought about a gift for Santa Claus?
Who wrapped a piece of cheese up with his paws?
He's the little fellow with the biggest heart with all the whiskers
Is it any wonder Santa named him "Santa Mouse?"

[Verse]
Once there was a tiny mouse
Who lived all alone in a grеat big house
With playmates who werе all imaginary
Until one night Saint Nicholas appeared
Gave him a suit and hooked on a beard
And took him on a trip so light and airy

[Chorus]
Who's the little friend on Santa's shoulder?
(Santa Mouse) Yeah
Who do we look for when it's colder?
(Santa Mouse)
He's the one who once was just a mouse without a name
'Til he did a deed so very kind when Christmas came
Who thought about a gift for Santa Claus?
Who wrapped a piece of cheese up with his paws?
He's the little fellow with the biggest heart with all the whiskers
Is it any wonder Santa named him "Santa Mouse?"
