[Music]

sleigh Son I still don't understand why

we got a cow walking around on the stage

with antlers on his head You know what

I'm saying

Well Ribbit we ain't got any reindeer

here in Lost Lagoon so we do the best we

can Well what do we need reindeer for

[Music]

Well excuse me but ain't you ever heard

of Santa

Claus Yeah son I heard of Santa Claus

but that don't mean there is

one You mean you don't believe there's a

Santa Claus Oh

well I ain't never seen any proof of

it You ain't never seen the wind either

but you know it's there

Well that's different

Why is it different Ribbit

It just is Besides I can feel

the

wind Well Ribbit Santa Claus comes to

Lost Lagoon every year Just look around

on Christmas morning at all the happy

little critters faces That'll show you

there's a Santa

Claus Son I believe in Santa Claus when

it snows in Lost

[Music]

Lagoon I can't believe Ribbit thinks

there ain't no Santa

[Music]

Claus Yeah too bad we can't prove it

Hey Joe you just gave me an idea Maybe

we can prove to Ribbit that there's a

Santa

Claus There that should do it Now we'll

just tie the note to this balloon Float

the balloon high up in the air and when

Santa comes by tonight he'll see it Then

he'll give Ribbit the Christmas spirit

Well what if he don't see the

balloon Oh he'll see it All right we'll

float it high above the trees so he

can't miss

[Music]

it Boy that's higher than old Blue J

Thomas can

fly there Now Santa can't miss it

And I greet the critters all along the

way Not a single worry on my mind Life

on the river So well son what do we have

[Music]

here Dear Santa Claus please come to

Lost Lagoon tonight and give Rivid Eye

Lee the Christmas spirit He doesn't

believe in you Sincerely Billy Bob

Possum Why I can't believe that boy

would do such a foolish thing When

reindeer can fly that's when it'll snow

in Law's Lagoon

And when the evening sun goes

down and the moon comes rolling round I

get the feeling that the world is mine

Life on the river so

fine Yeah Life on the river so

fine Life on the river so

fine Yes it is Yes it is It certainly is

Excuse me my good man but may I have a

word with you

Son you can have all the words you want

Words don't cost nothing You know what

I'm

saying My name is Kringle and well I

need some

help Well what seem to be the problem Mr

Kringle

I've been making some very special

deliveries tonight all over Lost Lagoon

but my sleigh got stuck in the mud and I

can't get it loose I was wondering if

you would mind taking me on your river

boat so I could make my deliveries on

time Son excuse me for saying but you

look a little old to be a delivery boy

And ain't you a little warm in that

heavy coat

Oh I'm making deliveries tonight in all

kinds of weather and in some places it's

freezing Son it ain't froze around these

parts since I was kneeh high to a June

bug Now I'd like to help you but I got a

show to do tonight You know what I'm

saying I happen to be a swamp

critter Well every delivery I'm making

tonight is to a little swamp critter

No I mean the band Oh never mind Look Mr

Cringle I'd like to help you but it's

almost time to go to Big Al's for our

big Christmas show I just ain't got time

to take you to make your deliveries I'd

be late for the

show Oh but I guarantee you'll be back

in time Besides if you don't help me

think of all the little critters that

will be disappointed that they didn't

get their packages

Oh all right Climb aboard

[Music]

son It'll take us all night to deliver

that much

stuff Not to worry my good man We'll be

back before you know it

[Music]

Where's Ribbit The show starts in 15

minutes and the place is

packed Oh there's still plenty of time

My guess is he's with none other than

Santa Claus

Santa

Claus That's right Big Al I tied a note

to a balloon and floated it up where

Santa could see it I told Santa to go

see Ribbit and give him the Christmas

spirit

Billy Bob I got some bad

news I just came from the swamp where

you sent up the balloon and well the

balloon was on the ground and the note

was tore up

But that means Santa won't see the note

and Ribbit still won't believe in

[Music]

him Well I hope you're satisfied Mr

Kringle I'm going to be late for my show

and I Well what do you know Why the

clock says I still got 15 minutes to

make it to the show Must be something

wrong with that

clock There's nothing wrong with your

clock Rivet Remember I guaranteed that

you'd be back in time for your

show But I don't understand how Well

never mind But it looks like you still

got a few more things in your bag there

Oh I just have one more stop to make You

run along to your show And thank you

once again You've helped make a lot of

little critters happy by showing the

true Christmas spirit You thought of

others before

yourself Aw I didn't do nothing Well Mr

Kringle it was nice meeting you Hope to

see you

again You can count on it Ribbit

[Music]

It's about time The show's about to

start Keep your show on Big Al I told

you I'd be here Where you been Ribbit

Oh I helped some old fella deliver some

packages His sleigh was stuck in the mud

so I took him on the river queen

Uh did you say his sleigh

Yeah So

what Don't you see Ribbit An old fella

in a sleigh delivering

packages Oh come on boys You don't

expect me to believe that was Santa

Claus do you

Well who else could it have been

An old man delivering packages That's

all Besides his name wasn't Santa Claus

It was Cringle

Chris Kringle
