My mother used to sing this song, and I can’t figure out its origin.  Does this ring a bell for anyone?

 

Santa Claus, Santa Claus

Hurry on your way because

I’ve been good like I shpuld

Even to my baby brother

 

Googling has turned up nothing.

 

Thanks for any leads!

      Hi, @JenniferP348574.

       

        ✨  The Shepherd's Children Chorus - Baby Brother (Santa Claus, Dear Santa Claus)

       

      Another version:

        

        ✨  The Quinto Sisters - Baby Brother

       

      Sort of scoured the web to find your song. This song seemed like this was the closest I could find. If this is not the one, I hope someone can find it for you.

       

      Cheers. K

        Thank you so much for digging this up.  It is not the one I’m thinking of, although it really similar in melody.  I appreciate it!

          Hi Jennifer, I can't believe I just found this post! I've been asking about this song for years! I remember it from when I was a kid. It was on a children's Christmas songs album. Probably one of those K-Tel type records if you remember those.

           

          And the next lines in the song after the ones you wrote are:

           

          Ring-a-ling, as you bring

          Lots of gifts to give!

          Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, WHOA!

          Here's where we live.

           

          I was seriously love to find this song. If you ever find it, please be sure to post it here! Have a Merry Christmas.

            Hi Pamela—

             

            Thank you for dispelling my fear that I and my siblings had a collective hallucination!  I’m gonna keep digging.  Those extra lyrics are a big help.  I’ll let you know if I find out anything more.  Merry Christmas!
