Who Is the Real Santa Claus
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan)
VERSE 1
Who is the real Santa Claus? the fat old man at Macy's
Or that skinny guy ringing the Salvation Army bell on the corner
And where is the real Santa Clause I thought he lived at the north pole
With his wife and elves, makin' the toys gifts for girls and boys this Christmas
CHORUS
Who is the real Santa Claus, who is authentic and who's a fraud
And where is the real Santa Clause, I'm only asking because
My little girl wants to know, I think it's a question asked a lot
Who is the real Santa Claus
VERSE 2
Who is the real Santa Claus? the one I see on T.V.
Or that other guy playing the part of the Kris Kringle at the Town Square
And where is the real Santa Claus does he still live in the Arctic with his eight Reindeer
Working all year to bring joy to the world on Christmas
CHORUS
Who is the real Santa Claus, who is authentic and who's a fraud
And where is the real Santa Clause, I'm only asking because
My little girl wants to know, I think it's a question asked a lot
Who is the real Santa Claus
CHORUS
Tell me CHORUS
Who is the real Santa Claus, who is authentic and who's a fraud
And where is the real Santa Clause, I'm only asking because
My little girl wants to know, I think it's a question asked a lot
Who is the real Santa Claus

SANTA COULDN'T FLY ON CHRISTMAS EVE
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown "socan"
VERSE
In peaceful sleep I had a dream, was a snowy Christmas eve
And I kindly volunteered to pilot and guide the reindeer
You see Santa wasn't feelin' well you could easily tell
I think you'd all agree, he couldn't fly on Christmas eve,
CHORUS
Santa couldn't fly on Christmas eve or so it was in my dream
Santa couldn't even get out of bed he was sick as can be
But then I awoke it was a joke some freaked-out nighttime dream ghost played on me
It's so crazy to believe that Santa could,'t fly on Christmas eve.
VERSE
You never know what to believe , things ain't always what they seem
'Cause in dreams what might seem real , maybe just slumber illusion
But when I got that phone call from that Arctic pole ya know
I really did believe that Santa couldn't fly on Christmas Eve.
CHORUS
Santa couldn't fly on Christmas eve or so it was in my drream
Santa couldn't even get out of bed he was sick as can be
But then I awoke it was a joke some freaked-out nighttime dream ghost played on me
It's so crazy to believe that Santa could,'t fly on Christmas eve.
TAG
Yet in my silly dream, Santa could,'t fly on Christmas eve.

Santa's 9th Reindeer
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown
VERSE 1
He is Santa, Saint Nick, kris kringle and Pelznickel, yes he is one and the same
And every good girl and boy
Knows that he will soon come down their chimney with goodies and toys
And his eight reindeer obey when they hear pull this sleigh
With his 9th reindeer leading the way
CHORUS
Santa's 9th reindeer is leading the way
Rudolf and his nose so brightly aglow
It can burn through dense fog it can evaporate rain
It can melt sleet and snow that's obstructing the sleigh
When Santa's 9th reindeer is leading the way
VERSE 2
Just before time to leave Rudolf turns his nose on lighting the sky Christmas Eve
And in the blink of an eye Santa asks all the reindeer are you now all ready to fly
And when his eight reindeers say Santa let's fly away
The 9th reindeer fires up Santa's sleigh
CHORUS
Santa's 9th reindeer is leading the way
Rudolf and his nose so brightly aglow
It can burn through dense fog it can evaporate rain
It can melt sleet and snow that's obstructing the sleigh
When Santa's 9th reindeer is leading the way
CHORUS
Yes Santa's 9th reindeer is leading the way
Rudolf and his nose so brightly aglow
It can burn through dense fog it can evaporate rain
It can melt sleet and snow that's obstructing the sleigh
When Santa's 9th reindeer is leading the way

With Rudolf's red neon nose shining and guiding the sleigh

In a world where little makes sense I often wonder why
What's the sense to even try it sure makes you wanna cry
Melancholy colors your mind when all alone at Christmas time

Why did my life turn out to be a lone reality
With a solitary me on this blue forgotten street
Tear filled eyes when remembering why I'm all alone at Christmas time

And memories of what was
Such a sad and sorry soul am I all alone at Christmas Time

Such a sad and sorry soul am I all alone at Christmas Time

Amos The Little Elf
Words and Music by John Baylor (ASCAP) and Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)
Verse 1
Amos is a little elf, on Santa's workshop team
He never got to ride that sleigh and that's all he's ever dreamed
Christmas came and Christmas went the other elves got to go
Riding with Santa in his sleigh shouting Ho Ho Ho
Chorus
Amos is a little elf, the littlest elf is he
He's so small not to tall only two foot three
Every one loves Amos he's the cutiest elf they say
And they tell him that the day will come when he'll ride in Santa's sleigh
Verse 2
Amos walked around all day with his head hanging down
The other elves would laugh at him on his face he wore a frown
Amos had a dream last night he dreamed this would be his year
To ride that sleigh with Santa Claus and his eight reindeer
REPEAT CHORUS:
Verse 3
Now Santa said to Amos can I depend on you
To help me get my bag of toys down those skinny chimney flues
Amos beamed from ear to ear as they loaded down that sleigh
That dream he had has now come true on this Christmas Day

Santa's Got All The Gadgets
Words and Music by John Baylor and Richard Melvin Brown (Socan)
Verse 1
It's snowing hard on Christmas Eve and you can't see a thing
I don't know how he's gonna do it he's got lots of toys to bring
Santa has radar in that sleigh to know just where to go
All of the reindeer have GPS to guide them through the blinding snow
Chorus
Santa's got all the gadgets to get the job done right
Elves make them in his workshop so he can take them on his flight
If you're watching the sky on Christmas Eve and you see a shooting star so bright
It's Santa rushing to get the job done he's gotta do it on a single night
Verse 2
He doesn't have a list to check to find who's good or bad
He keeps all his information on the newest IBM Thinkpad
He has satellite radio installed right in his sleigh
So he can listen to his favorite music of the Christmas holidays
REPEAT CHORUS
Verse 3
When he's done and it's time to go back up to the North Pole
He sits back in his shiny red color sleigh guides it with his remote control
I wonder what he'll have next year to make his job a breeze
You can use your imagination but we're gonna have to wait and see
Yes we're gonna have to wait and see
REPEAT CHORUS Twice and TAG last line

My First Christmas Without Her
Words and Music by Richard Melvin Brown (socan)
VERSE 1
It's supposed to be a happy time, the most joyous time of the year
But for some who've lost a loved one, it's a reminder that they're not here
I remember last December how crazy in love we were
Now it's just me and her memory
On my first Christmas without her
CHORUS
Santa Claus can you ask God why he took her away from me
Is it because a new Angel he needed to soar in Revelry
And Santa Claus cann you ask God to give her a message from me
Tell her I love her and I'm missing her desperately
On my first Christmas without her
VERSE 2
I know in my heart God's Angels are now teaching her how to fly
Among the stars and planets through the rapture of Heaven on high
Don't think this sorrow will end tomorrow but knowing she's in God's arms
Just might get me through this harsh heavy hurt
On my first Christmas without her
Repeat Chorus Twice
