Apologies if I've misused Yiddish. I relied on online references to write this. If I were a Santa, Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle ho ho ho If I were a holly jolly man, if I were a frayleich man If I were a Santa, Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle ho ho ho I would dress up for my yearly flight in a Yarmulkeh that's red and white And I would Have my elves keep busy the whole year working on every kosher toy Wooden dreidels for ev-er-y girl and boy And I would Have my reindeer practice their flying faster and higher than before I would kvel as I would watch them soar If I were a Santa, Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle ho ho ho I would greet you "sholem aleycham", if I were a Christmas man If I were a Santa, Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle ho ho ho I would thrill both shikse and shygetz, and I'd never have any regrets And I would Schlep a bag jammed full of the presents I would deliver Christmas eve Landing on the rooftops with great espirit And then a Quick trip down the chimney to drop off gifts for the little goyem kids And maybe nosh a schmear left near the tree If I were a Santa, Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle ho ho ho I would get a lot of mazel tov, if I were the Christmas mensch If I were a Santa, Daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle ho ho ho But I'll never serve as you-know-who, because I'm orthodox and I'm a jew. |
