[Verse]
Who's that chu
bby old hippy
stuck in your
chimney
Sliding down i
n your firepla
ce, and now yo
u see him knee
-high
He's dropping
out of the sky
, dropping in
just to lay it
on you on a
Christmas morn
in'
[Verse]
Got a pipe in
one hand and a
peace sign in
the other
Got a sack on
his back full
of toys, love
and brotherhoo
d
A Volkswagen b
us pulled by e
ight tiny rein
deer, a twinkl
e in his eye
and granola in
his grin
[Chorus]
Peace.........

[Verse]
To the childre
n of the world
he says Love

To the grown-u

In a trance on

ental transcen
dental trip, c
an you dig wha

a long strange
trip it's bee

[Chorus]
Peace.........

[Bridge]
Now he shoutin
g, "On Janis!
On Jimi! On Je

And he shakes
when he laughs
like a bowl f

Garcia
Singing, "Ahhh

Maria"
[Chorus]
Some would tel
l him his mess
age is silly a
nd saccharine
Some would cal
l him a walkin
g North Pole a
nachronism
And yeah, he's
far out, but
he's never far
out of style
- he'll turn
you on, but he
'll never turn
you in
[Chorus]
Peace.........
....Nick is fl
yin'
[Outro]
Merry Christma
s to all, and

And I heard his exclaim as he rode...
Outta sight!
Outta sight!
Outta sight ..
