Dear Senor Santa Claus I think I tell you what
I would like for Christmas and I hope you won't forgot
I only want a peso that I can have for mine
To get my senorita something for Christmas time
I don't believe you read the card last Christmas that I sent
You come to see the kids across the street and then you went
Dear Senor Santa Claus I think me understand
Sometimes the toys all gone before you reach the Rio Grande
[ strings ]
Dear Senor Santa Claus I tell you what I think
I no got a stockin' I set out my piggy bank
So please bring me peso that I can have for mine
To get my senorita something for Christmas time
On Christmas Eve I watch for you and I no sleep a wink
If I no get Lolita something she feel sad I think
So please Senor Santa Claus this Christmas be so grand
If I get peso to buy ring for my Lolita's hand
[ strings ]
I don't know what I buy for her I think I buy a rose
So she can wear it in her hair most everywhere she goes
Please Senor Santa Claus this Christmas be so grand
If I get peso to buy ring for my Lolita's hand
If I get peso to buy ring for my Lolita's hand
