(Chorus) Oh, Santa's got the moves, he's got the groove, Shakin' his belly like a bowl full of jelly. Boots a-tappin', reindeer nappin', Santa Claus dancin' 'round my Christmas tree. (Verse 2) He had his hat tilted, boots all shined, Twistin' and turnin', havin' a good time. Rudolph's nose was blinkin' in sync, While Santa did the two-step, I couldn't even blink. (Chorus) Oh, Santa's got the moves, he's got the groove, Shakin' his belly like a bowl full of jelly. Boots a-tappin', reindeer nappin', Santa Claus dancin' 'round my Christmas tree. (Bridge) He did the ho-ho-hoedown, the jingle bell jive, I laughed so hard, I felt alive. He winked at me, said, "Join the fun," So I grabbed my hat, and we danced as one. (Chorus) Oh, Santa's got the moves, he's got the groove, Shakin' his belly like a bowl full of jelly. Boots a-tappin', reindeer nappin', Santa Claus dancin' 'round my Christmas tree.

(Verse 1) Well, I woke up this mornin', to a sight I couldn't believe, There was a snowman in the basement, just chillin' with the Christmas tree. He had a carrot for a nose, and a smile made out of coal, But how he got down there, well, nobody knows. (Chorus) Oh, there's a snowman in the basement, and he's havin' a ball, He's got a cowboy hat and boots, and he's leanin' on the wall. He's sippin' on some sweet tea, and singin' country tunes, There's a snowman in the basement, and he's dancin' 'neath the moon. (Verse 2) He said, "Howdy, partner, won't you come on down and stay? We'll have ourselves a hoedown, and dance the night away." So I grabbed my old guitar, and we played a little song, With a snowman in the basement, you know you can't go wrong. (Chorus) Oh, there's a snowman in the basement, and he's havin' a ball, He's got a cowboy hat and boots, and he's leanin' on the wall. He's sippin' on some sweet tea, and singin' country tunes, There's a snowman in the basement, and he's dancin' 'neath the moon. (Bridge) Now the neighbors think I'm crazy, but I don't really care, 'Cause I've got a snowman buddy, and he's always there. When the winter winds are blowin', and the nights are cold and long, We'll be down in the basement, just singin' our song. (Chorus) Oh, there's a snowman in the basement, and he's havin' a ball, He's got a cowboy hat and boots, and he's leanin' on the wall. He's sippin' on some sweet tea, and singin' country tunes, There's a snowman in the basement, and he's dancin' 'neath the moon. (Outro) So if you're feelin' lonely, and you need a friend to call, Just come on down to my place, we'll have a snowman ball. With a snowman in the basement, life is never dull, We'll be singin' country music, and havin' a good ol' haul.
