Whipped up some batter at twelve oh one
Flipping cakes under the midnight sun
Christmas Tree lights twinkle in the dark
All the toys wrapped, some with baby sharks
Butter melting on a midnight stack
Dishes piling but there's no looking back
Its Christmas time in my house you see
And I'm waiting on my friend Santa to eat
Midnight pancakes under moonlit skies
Sweet buttery dreams in our sleepy eyes
I'll be up all night in Bakersfield and I know why
Because Santa Claus is coming and I want to say "Hi"
I love the way he Ho, ho, Ho's
I laugh win he twitches his noes
He's always been so good to me
It's Christmas eve in my city
Burning the toast who even cares
Pouring the love and swapping our shares
Clinking our forks for a late night cheer
We are so excited Santa is here
Midnight pancakes under moonlit skies
Sweet buttery dreams in our sleepy eyes
I'll be up all night in Bakersfield and I know why
Because Santa Claus is coming and I want to say "Hi"
I hear a thump on the roof
I hear the stomping of some hoofs
Santa is here, ready to eat some pancakes with me
Santa is here ready sit and talk with me
When he's finished his meal, he politely leaves
And we all stand up to watch him tuck his sleeves
Ho, Ho, Ho, he exclaims as his magic takes him away
HIs sleigh goes high in the night, as he takes one last bite
Midnight pancakes under moonlit skies
Sweet buttery dreams in our sleepy eyes
I'll be up all night in Bakersfield and I know why
Because Santa Claus is coming and I want to say "Hi"
