Nat King Cole

Mrs Santa Claus — Nat King Cole

Individual performer: Nat King Cole

Artist background

Nat King Cole began as a jazz pianist and became a much-loved interpreter of songs, with “Unforgettable” among his signature recordings. His voice is closely associated with “The Christmas Song”, better known to many by its opening mention of chestnuts. It’s an unhurried seasonal welcome, delivered with warmth rather than a need to shout.

Show Lyrics — Mrs Santa Claus
Now everybody's heard of Mrs. Santa Claus
Everybody knows she's Santa's wife
Every Christmas Eve, she sits up all alone
An' waits till he gets home again all right
He says, "Don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know ho-ho I love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
An' I'll be home before it's Christmas day"
Now all the elves that make the toys for Santa Claus
Spend their one night off the whole year long
Singin' songs and dancin' 'round the Christmas tree
Fillin' Mrs. Santa Claus with cheer
Singin', "Don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
An' Santa will be home on Christmas day"
Well, if you ever think of Mrs. Santa Claus
Sitting by herself on Christmas Eve
Maybe you could write a special Christmas card
To help poor Mrs. Santa Claus believe
Sayin', "Don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
Santa will be home on Christmas day"
"You know ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
And Santa will be home on Christmas day"
