Santa's Little Yum Yum

 

 

Twas the night before Christmas

and the moon was shinning bright.

I couldn’t believe my eyes

as my reindeer took flight.

My sleigh whooshed high

into the sky, much lighter than air.

I looked over my shoulder

and saw it was there.

The night was clear and bright

on this Christmas Eve night.

I saw Bethlehem’s Star

shine down its glorious light.

I looked down below

and what did I see?

I saw a little lost kitty-cat

looking right up at me.

In the darkness of night

way down below.

I followed the light

as I flew over real slow.

To what to my wondering eyes

should appear.

A beam of light streamed down

from the stratosphere.

I watched as the Star gave that kitty-cat

a Christmas kiss from afar.

She sparkled like diamonds,

bright as the Star.

I pulled on the reins

and watched this magical sight.

I had seen a miracle

on this Christmas Eve night.

The little kitty-cat sparkled

and wings she did grow.

The star on her head lit up all aglow.

She flew high in the air

to my sleigh she came.

Singing her song,

calling my name.

Santa oh Santa

give me a name of love.

Your name came to me

as I hovered above.

You reminded me of

a Sugarplum Fairy sent from afar.

Dipped in golden sugar

from my wife’s sugar jar.

I named you Sugarplum

on that Christmas Eve night.

Wishes you’ll grant

when the Star shines bright.

And that is how you came to be

my little Sugarplum.

You’re the sweetest fairy in Christmas Town,

my little Yum Yum.
