G                    C
The word had spread from town to town
     G                C
That Santa's sled had broken down
    D           G     C
And there would be no toys this Christmas day
G               C                G             C
When suddenly a cry was heard up in the sky is that a bird
    D7                              Dm7         G7
And all the children shouted hip hooray (hip hooray)

[Chorus]
   C               F     C             G              C
Hooray for Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol
                          F         C         D7               G
His sleigh broke down one Christmas Eve as he started from the pole
                         C                    G                 C
He said those children's heart would break if I don't make this trip
    D7                                                     G
But Santa's helpers saved the day when they built a rocket ship

[Verse 2]
     C                 F       C            G               C
Then with his reindeer space cadets he took off through the air
                    F                   D7               G
And not one chimney did they miss every stocking got its share
                        C               F
Now children dance with glee around the tree each time they're told
    C                                   G              C
The tale of Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol

[Chorus]
   C               F     C             G              C
Hooray for Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol
                          F         C         D7               G
His sleigh broke down one Christmas Eve as he started from the pole
                         C                    G                 C
He said those children's heart would break if I don't make this trip
    D7                                                     G
But Santa's helpers saved the day when they built a rocket ship

[Verse 2]
     C                 F       C            G               C
Then with his reindeer space cadets he took off through the air
                    F                   D7               G
And not one chimney did they miss every stocking got its share
                        C               F
Now children dance with glee around the tree each time they're told
    C                                   G              C
The tale of Captain Santa Claus and his reindeer space patrol

[Outro]
N.C.
Loud explosions of his rocket blasting off
