late at night one christmas eve
not a soul still awake except for me
as I headed to bed
a sound caught my ear
a sound from above
now who's that I hear
I grinned as I went to investigate
I found santa all right
but wait

I heard a thumpin' beat
I looked up from the street
he was starting to move
he was getting his groove on

who's that stomping up on the roof
santa claus is on the loose
he finished up work a little early this year
and stopped off to enjoy a little christmas cheer
who's that stomping up on the roof
santa claus is on the loose

working all year just to get it right
and it all comes down to just one night
when it's all over and his work is through
I guess he'd like to unwind now wouldn't you

he sure is making a lot of noise
now that he's off the clock, he's just one of the boys
who's that stomping up on the roof
santa claus is on the loose

santa dancing alone, well that just won't do
I caught a glimpse of mama up there dancing too
not wanting to be left out I ran right up the stairs
climbed out onto the roof into the December air

when he saw me coming he said what took you so long
just then a call came ringing in on my cell phone
uh, I better get this…
who's that stomping up on the roof
santa claus is on the loose
he sure is making a lot of noise
now that he's off the clock, he's just one of the boys
who's that stomping up on the roof
it's santa claus and I've got the proof
you see this photograph in my hand
who's that stomping up on the roof
santa claus is on the loose
santa claus is on the loose
santa claus is on the loose
