[Intro: The Ink Spots]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Boohoo-hoo-hoo, boohoo-hoo-hoo
Poor me

[Chorus: Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
When he came last year (Poor Santa Claus)

Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
He won't come back I fear (Boohoo)

[Verse: Ella Fitzgerald]
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Roly-poly, fat, and round
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down

[Chorus: Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots, Ella Fitzgerald & The Ink Spots]
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back to my chimney
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
You can come back here (Please do come back)
'Cause daddy made a brand new chimney
Just for you this year
[Instrumental Chorus]

[Bridge: Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots]
(Ohh, Ella is a little girl who's trying to be good)
Yet I find that things don't always turn out as they should
(Why, just last Christmas Eve she waited up for seven to drop five)
But I nearly missed him and here's the reason why

[Chorus: Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots]
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
When he came last year (Poor Santa Claus)

Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in my chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
He won't come back I fear (Boohoo)

[Verse: Ella Fitzgerald]
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Roly-poly, fat, and round
There he was in the middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down

[Chorus: Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots]
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back to my chimney
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
You can come back here (Please do-ooh-ooh)
'Cause daddy made a brand new chimney
Just for you this year
(Santa Claus come on down the chimney, please come back this year)
