Santa And The Doodle-Li-Boop
Composer(s): Alan Abel
Performer(s): Art Carney
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Tommy
one day he wrote a letter to Santa Claus up in the North Pole
and said:"Dear Santa I've been a good little boy all year
so I am writing you now to say
All I want for Christmas is a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop
All I want for Christmas is a Doodle-li-Boop, Doop billy-bee-ala, Doodle-li-Boop"
When Santa read the letter he was very much surprised because
he hadn't had anyone asking for a Doodle-li-Boop in a long time
It was the day before Christmas, so he went to the toy factory
and went looking for a Doodle-li-Boop, he looked high and
he looked low but there was no single Doodle-li-Boop in sight
Santa went through the toy factory singing
"Has anybody seen a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop?
Has anybody seen a Doodle-li-Boop, Doop billy-bee-ala, Doodle-li-Boop?"
When none of his helpers know where there might be a Doodle-li-Boop in sight
so Santa went home slowly and sadly, singing
"Oh, where, oh where is a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop?
Oh, where, oh where is a Doodle-li-Boop, Doop billy-bee-ala, Doodle-li-Boop?"
When Santa came home, Mrs. Santa Claus opened the door and said to him
"Santa you look so tired and unhappy
What's wrong?"
Santa said
"Little Tommy asked for a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop
Little Tommy asked for a Doodle-li-Boop, Doop billy-bee-ala, Doodle-li-Boop"
"But there's none in sight anywhere and it's almost time for delivering my Christmas toys"
Why don't you look into the closet?
Said Mrs. Santa Claus
With a start Santa jumped up and ran over to the closet, opened the door
and out came hundreds of Doodle-li-Boops
picking one up and putting it quickly in his bag
Santa went on his way to deliver his Christmas toys, singing
"Little Tommy is gonna get a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop
Little Tommy is gonna get a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop, a Doodle-li-Boop
