SANTA CLAUS SAMBA (AKA CHRISTMAS IN BRAZIL)
MUSIC:GALE STODDARD / LYRICS: RAY EVANS

CHRISTMAS IN BRAZIL’S THE CREAM OF THE CROP
WITH THE RHYTHM ALL AROUND TOO HAPPY TO STOP
SANTA SHIMMIES TO A SAMBA STREET BEAT
CHRISTMAS IN BRAZIL IS SOMETHING TO SEE
MUSIC DANCING AND ITS FROLICKING FREE
IT’S A TREAT FOR ALL THE DANCING ELITE

RIO DE JANEIRO GIVES IT BOUNCE
DANCERS TWIST AND TWIRL AND SHAKE EVERY OUNCE
IT’S ALIVE WITH HAPPY HOLIDAY HEAT

DRUMMERS POUND A SOUND THAT WAKENS THE EARS
COWBELLS RING AND SING AND GREETED WITH CHEERS
IT’S A TIME FOR HAPPY COUPLERS TO MEET

SANTA’S SAMBAS GO WITH THE FLOW
AND LOVE THAT CHRISTMAS MISTLETOE
THE SANTA CLAUSE SAMBA MAKES A HAPPY SHOW
IT’S EVERYWHERE YOU GO

IN BAHIA’S VOODOO CAPITAL TOWN
VOODOO DOCTORS TRY TO TRAP IT ALL DOWN
SPENDING TIME HERE YOU’LL BE FEELING NO CHILL
ON THE BEACHES GOLDEN GODDESSES STRUT
WITH THEIR AMPLE BODICES DARINGLY CUT
AND IT GIVES THE MEN A HOLIDAY THRILL

MODERN BUILDINGS MAKE BRAZILIA GLOW
AND YOU’RE NOT IN PICADILLY ‘YA KNOW
SPENDING CHRISTMAS HERE ‘S NO RUN OF THE MILL

TEMPERATURE IS HOT THE MUSIC IS COOL
AS SANTA WISHES ALL A WONDERFUL YULE
ITS BRAZILIAN’S JOY FOR JACK AND HIS JILL

IT’S A SAMBA A CHRISTMAS SAMBA
A WARM INVITING BLISSMUS KISSMUS SAMBA
SANTA’S SAMBA ITS SANTA’S MUSIC IN BRAZIL
TO HEAR IT IS A THRILL AND THRILL I’M SURE YOU WILL

BAM BIM BOOM CHRISTMAS IN BRAZIL
