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
