lyrics

Something’s been on my mind
I’m wondering how do you do it?
Where do you find the time?
How do you visit every kid
In this great, big, wide old world
I’m wondering how do you do it?
Signed, your good friend, Earl

Dear Earl, Thank you for writing
Those are questions I’m often asked
And although I look old and rather round
I’m actually sort of fast
But it takes more than speed
To make it from Juneau to Japan
I can do it because you love me
And because you believe I can

Dear Santa I’m writing a letter
There’s something I’d like to know
Where do you live? Where do you work?
Is there really a North Pole?
How do you make all those toys
And dolls and games and clothes?
I’m wondering how do you do it?
Signed, yours truly, Rose

Dear Rose, I’m glad that you wrote to me
Now I’m writing back to you
I live and I work all over the world
From the North Pole to Spain to Peru
I have lots of help making the gifts
But you’re also a part of the plan
I can do it because you love me
And because you believe I can

Dear Santa I’m writing a letter
There’s something I’d like to ask
I know you work hard all year long
Do you ever find time to relax?
Make sure you take a vacation
Play baseball or go for a swim
And remember to take good care of yourself
Signed, your best friend, Slim

Dear Slim, I enjoyed your letter
It was real nice of you to ask
I do work hard but I play some too
If you don’t time goes too fast!
Next summer when you’re on vacation
If you see a fat bearded man with a tan
Remember that anything’s possible
If you love and believe that you can
