There's a new little boy in the neighborhood And last night it started to snow He brought out his sleigh and was all set to play but the gang didn't say hello So I made friends with the poor little tot And he said to me do you know what I like? I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus Wouldn't that be something to see? I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus Dodging the clouds, waving at crowds I'd crack the whip and keep a watch for weather vanes I'd help him with the bag or checking christmas tank Or maybe I could handle the reins I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus Wouldn't they be jealous of me? You couldn't say I ran away because After we roam, he'll drive me home And when they see me Christmas morning What'll they say with look of delight There goes the boy who rode with Santa Claus last night I'd crack the whip and keep a watch for weather vanes I'd help him with the bag or checking christmas tank Or maybe I could handle the reins I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus Wouldn't they be jealous of me? You couldn't say I ran away because After we roam, he'll drive me home And when they see me Christmas morning What'll they say with look of delight There goes the boy who rode with Santa Claus last night There goes the boy hitch a ride with Santa Claus last night
