Story behind the song
I wrote this one for a 2003 song contest out of Nashville. It won 1st prize, a nice check, and a free demo- this one.
Lyrics
Santa’s Spies I really have it figured out How Santa gets the word He hears it from the animals Each cat and dog and bird From nest to den it’s passed along By flock and then by pack Till Santa writes it in a note And stores it in his sack Those innocent canaries Who fill our house with song Are part of the conspiracy And pass wishes along That warm and fuzzy kitten With every little cry He isn’t callin’ mama He’s really Santa’s spy It ain’t just in the city The farmers have it too--------------- {Chorus They hear it every day and night Each neigh each baa and moo So don’t forget when shoppin’ To go in that pet store And pick up lots of presents To please them to the core {Instrumental Break Trudy wants the telescope She saw down at the mall Billy wants that blue bike They’re in the hoot owls call Cody has been extra good And so has Linda Lou The puppies’ tails thump out in code You think they’ll tell on you I’m starin’ at my kitty cat And lookin’ for a sign To see if she’ll tell Santa Just what I have in mind I try to keep her happy Her food and water fill I hope her purr will carry Through dale and over hill It ain’t just in the city The farmers have it too----------------- {Chorus They hear it every day and night Each neigh each baa and moo So don’t forget when shoppin’ To go in that pet store And pick up lots of presents To please them to the core So lets thank all our little friends That carry out with this task For helpin’ with our Christmas Is quite a lot to ask Yes helpin’ out old Santa Is quite a lot to ask Helpin’ out old Santa Is quite a lot to ask Copyright 2003 John W.

What can I say John? This is very well done and I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would pass on it. Really enjoyed it!
