Santa Claus comes to Central Newfoundland. While he is here, he falls in love with the local Christmas spirit and never wants to leave.

lyrics

Santa, My lanta, go gear up the sleigh
Santa, My lanta, you're common 'round the bay
You'll stop off in Fogo, but don't miss Harbour Maine
Santa, My lanta, Its Christmas again.

To get here you'll take the carved Bob Bartlett road
Give love to the towns made from seeds that we've sowed
Stop in for a mummer, stop in for a drink
Santa, its Christmas, we wont get a wink

Santa, My lanta, go gear up the sleigh
Santa, My lanta, you're common 'round the bay
You'll stop off in Gander, and love Gand Falls
Santa, My lanta, watch out for the squalls

land on the roof and slide right on down
Mudder's hard on sleeping', please don't make a sound
help yourself to Jam Jams and pineapple drink
Santa, oh Santa, there's ice in the sink

Feel free to join us at nan's for some din
Turkey and dressing, the best gravy there's been
we'll call up the bys to come down for a scuff
drop down to the shed, there's never enough

Santa, My lanta, you've gone off your route
You've ate too much turkey and lost your left boot
You stayed here in Central where your rein deer are fine
But Santa, My lanta, you're falling behind

Santa, my lanta, thanks for all the gifts
We'd love to keep you, but think of the kids
You can stay here for summers, fall and the spring
you've fell in love with Newfoundland, for that we cant blame

Because Santa, My Lanta, we feel the same
