lyrics

I once knew a Santa man on board my own ship
To see the world, he said, in a single trip
And though we were friends, I never did see him again
For a Santa can never be caged in

Good old jolly old Santa
He’s wily for his age
He’s got an eye to wander
And the whole world’s his stage
Good old jolly old Santa
He’s run away again
A tired old sleigh can’t keep him
But your name, he still does ken

Santa the Bushman is one of his names
For he a walkabout once did go
He said he was off for to find his true fate
That was almost 200 years ago

Old Santa the pilot up, up and away
Taking flight up to the heights
With his head in the clouds and his feet standing firm
In a gondola going up to the skies

I once met a fair mermaid who said she’d loved him
Once upon a time
They days they spent together beyond reason, beyond rhyme
But oh! It couldn’t last, she said, with a tear
In her eyes
For you cannot cage a Santa
And neither should you try
