Just the Kid in Me

Mary  E. Coe
Oh, Saint Nicholas
Lend an ear this way
Oh, Saint Nicolas
Lend an ear this way
Please, pay attention
To what I've got to say

I've been a good kid
All this whole, long year
I've been a good kid
All this whole long year
Except a couple of times
I let mommy down

I've been naughty sometimes
But, please, understand
I've been naughty sometimes
But, please, understand
It's just the kid in me
I'm not yet a man,

I pulled Susie's hair
But, it didn't hurt too bad
I pulled Susie's hair
But, it didn't hurt too bad
I'm sorry Santa Claus
that I made Susie so sad,

I've been a good kid
Even though I slipped sometimes
I've been a good kid
Even though I slipped sometimes
I promise Santa Claus
I'll try to walk a straight line,

I've been naughty sometimes
But, please understand
I've been naughty sometimes
But, please understand
It's just the kid in me
I'm not yet a man.
