Daddy I'm afraid of going to bed,
Santa might miss me tonight
He mighten bother to come visit me
But go on to the bright city lights

As gently I wiped the tears from his eyes
I remembered the fears of my youth
So I knew that the time had finally come
To tell my young boy the whole truth

Chorus:

I said “son there’s no need to worry
There’s no need to bother and fuss
We’re the first ones that Santa will visit
‘Cause Santa’s a Bayman like us.

Dad if you say he’s a Bayman
How come he lives at the North Pole all year
I said son there was nothing poor Santa could do
Resettlement moved him up there.

Well I’ll prove to ya son he’s a Bayman
By showing the company he keeps
Well the socks that he wears was knit so I hear
From the wool offa Aunt Martha’s sheep.

Remember last Christmas eve son
We left him some cake when we all went to bed
When we got up why the cake was still there
For he eaten me cod’s heads instead

Chorus:

I said “son there’s no need to worry
There’s no need to bother and fuss
We’re the first ones that Santa will visit
‘Cause Santa’s a Bayman like us

Dad I knew all along he’s a Bayman
There was really no need for this chat
For last Christmas old Santa gave mommy a kiss
And she only lets
Baymen do that

Well Boys there’s no need to worry
There’s no need to bother and fuss
We’re the first ones that Santa will visit
‘Cause Santa’s a Bayman like us.
‘Cause Santa’s a Bayman like us.
