It's half past midnight on Christmas Eve,
The Newfies are celebrating with their jigs;
But through the front door walks a man in red,
And, through his beard, this is what he said....
Did you ever see Santa do the Newfie jig,
At half past midnight on Christmas Eve?
Rudolph comes in with a step or two,
And Mister Claus says this is what you do....
You take one step forward and two steps back,
A Newfie tradition, and it's a fact;
They say it's traditional on Christmas Eve,
When Santa Claus does a Newfie jig.
And mother was there, and some mummers, too,
The scrooge didn't like it but he stepped a tune;
They say it was a Christmas merry cade,
If you ask the Newfie, this is what he'll say....
Did you ever see Santa do the Newfie jig,
At half past midnight on Christmas Eve?
Rudolph comes in with a step or two,
And Mister Claus says this is what you do....
You take one step forward and two steps back,

They say it's traditional on Christmas Eve,
When Santa Claus does a Newfie jig.
And mother was there, and some mummers, too,
The scrooge didn't like it but he stepped a tune;
They say it was a Christmas merry cade,
If you ask the Newfie, this is what he'll say,
If you ask a Newfie, this is what he'll say.
