SANTA ON THE ROOFTOP
(Roboff / Roman)
Rosie O'Donnell & Trisha Yearwood - 1999


Ooh Yeah, Mmmm-hmmm 

Rosie: 
I was walking home on Christmas eve 
The whole neighborhood was fast asleep 
The snow was falling, coming down hard 
The place looked like a picture post card 

Trisha: 
And when my house came into view 
I noticed something up on the roof 
You can't imagine my surprise 
When I looked up and realized 

Both: 
It was Santa on the rooftop 
And our house was Santa's first roof stop 
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse 
Didn't make a sound 
Santa got ready to make his way down 
He had one foot in the chimney 
Destination our brand new Christmas tree 
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked 
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop 

Trisha: 
I tried to get home right away 
But I was just a little too late 
The gifts were laid out under the tree 
But no sign of Mister SC 

Rosie: 
I ran over to the fireplace 
But there was nothing but an empty space 
Got everybody up out of bed 
Their eyes opened wide when I said 

Both: 
It was Santa on the rooftop 
And our house was Santa's first roof stop 
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse 
Didn't make a sound 
Santa got ready to make his way down 
He had one foot in the chimney 
Destination our brand new Christmas tree 
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked 
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop 

Trisha: 
Some people think the man's a myth 
I had my doubts, I admit 
They'll laugh and criticise 
When somebody says with that look in their eyes 

Both: 
It was Santa on the rooftop 
And our house was Santa's first roof stop 
The reindeer were quiet as a mouse 
Didn't make a sound 
Santa got ready to make his way down 
One foot in the chimney 
Destination our brand new Christmas tree yeah 
I knew everyone was gonna be shocked 
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop 

Oh yeah 
When I told them I saw Santa on the rooftop 
Whoa 
When I said I saw Santa on the rooftop 
I saw Santa 
Santa on the rooftop 

Rosie: 
Hello Mr. Saint Nick (Santa on the rooftop) 
Why don't you come on down and gimme some ho ho ho (I saw Santa) 
Come on Santa (Santa on the rooftop) 
Bring it over here (I saw Santa) 
Lay it on me! (Santa on the rooftop) 

Santa on the rooftop...
