The word had spread from town to town That Santa's sled had broken down And there would be no toys this Christmas day When suddenly a cry was heard Up in the sky, is that a bird? And all the children shouted hip hurray! (Hip hurray!) Hurray for Captain Santa Claus And his reindeer space patrol His sleigh broke down one Christmas Eve As he started from the pole He said those children's heart would break If I don't make this trip But Santa's helpers saved the day When they built a rocket ship Then with his reindeer space cadets He took off through the air And not one chimney did they miss Every stocking got its share Now children dance with glee, around the tree, each time they're told The tale of Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol Hurray for Captain Santa Claus And his reindeer space patrol His sleigh broke down one Christmas Eve As he started from the pole He said those children's heart would break If I don't make this trip But Santa's helpers saved the day When they built a rocket ship Then with his reindeer space cadets He took off through the air And not one chimney did they miss Every stocking got its share Now children dance with glee, around the tree, each time they're told The tale of Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol!
