SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS

SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS
Music & Lyrics: Gale Stoddard / Sam Slavik (ASCAP 2006)

HOW DOES SANTA GET AROUND
WHEN THERE’S NO SNOW ON THE GROUND IN MEMPHIS
CAN THOSE TINY REINDEER FEET
PITTER PATTER DOWN THE STREET IN MEMPHIS
HE HAS LOTS OF WORK TO DO WHEN HE FIRST COMES TO TOWN
HE CALLS ON HIS MIGHTY FRIENDS WHO NEVER LET HIM DOWN

SANTA DOESN’T HAVE TO CLIMB
CHIMNEYS OR WORK OVERTIME IN MEMPHIS
SANTA NEVER HAS BEEN STUCK
FOR HE ALWAYS HAS GOOD LUCK IN MEMPHIS
SOMEHOW SANTA SEEMS TO KNOW THE CHILDREN WHO ARE GOOD
THEY WILL GET THEIR CHRISTMAS WISH IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD

SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS, MEMPHIS LOVES SANTA
TONS OF TOYS APPEAR WHEN SANTA’S HERE
SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS, MEMPHIS LOVES SANTA
THOUGH HE ONLY COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR


SANTA FINDS A PERFECT SPOT
ON THE FOOTBALL PARKING LOT IN MEMPHIS
SANTA’S FRIENDS ALL GATHER HERE
LOAD UP TOYS AND DISAPPEAR IN MEMPHIS
THEY WILL TIPTOE THROUGH THE NIGHT SO THEY WON’T MAKE A SOUND
BRINGING TOYS THAT BRING DELIGHT WHERE CHRISTMAS TREES ARE FOUND

SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS, MEMPHIS LOVES SANTA
‘CAUSE HE MAKES YOUR WORRIES DISAPPEAR
SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS, MEMPHIS LOVES SANTA
BELLS WILL RING WHEN SANTA TIME IS HERE

SANTA LOVES MEMPHIS, MEMPHIS LOVES SANTA
JOLLY SANTA SHOUTS HIS CHRISTMAS CHEER
ALL WORK IS DONE NOW, IT’S TIME FOR FUN NOW
THANKS TO ALL THE MEMPHIS VOLUNTEERS

MEMPHIS, OH MEMPHIS-YOU’RE ONE HECK OF A TOWN
