Chorus
Mammy said that Santy bring a whi-del- daw-del- dum.
She did, she said he’d bring one, when Santy he would come.
Then Santy he brought me a whi-del- daw-del- dum.
An’ when I pressed his belly button, this is what he’d hum.
I got me little copy book an’ Santy now I wrote.
Put the letter in the grate an’ up the chimney it did float.
In the letter I asked Santy for a whi-del- daw-del- dum.
One that when I pressed its belly button, this is what he’d hum.
Chorus
Mammy said that Santy bring a whi-del- daw-del- dum.
She did she said he’d bring one, when Santy he would come.
Then Santy he brought me a whi-del- daw-del- dum.
An’ when I pressed his belly button, this is what he’d hum.
On Christmas morning down the stairs, down out to the tree.
An’ there was whidle dadal dum a looking up at me.
There beneath the tree me whi-del- daw-del- dum.
An’ when I pressed his belly button this is what he’d hum.
Chorus

She did she said he’d bring one, when Santy he would come.
Then Santy he brought me a whi-del- daw-del- dum.
