Brandon Heath's playful Christmas song 'Momma Wouldn't Lie to Me' captures a child's innocent belief in Santa Claus, despite teasing from older kids and a skeptical sister. The narrator trusts his parents' assurances about Santa's magic, from cookies to reindeer flight. A humorous twist occurs when he catches his mom with a cookie, and she explains Santa is going gluten-free. The song celebrates childhood wonder and family trust, with a lighthearted tone that fits the holiday season.

The kids at school are laughing
Because I still believe
In just one night a fat man slides
Down everyone's chimney
Well that's what momma told me
And momma's always tell the truth
She says do as you should
Be real good
And he'll be good to you
Momma wouldn't lie to me
Momma wouldn't lie to me
Santa put the presents underneath our tree
Momma wouldn't lie to me
Don't ask my big sister
Cause she just turned thirteen
She said if you believe you're so naive
And I don't even know what that means
But dad's a whole lot older
And a whole lot smarter too
He wears a reindeer top with googly eyes
How could it not be true
Daddy wouldn't lie to me
Daddy wouldn't lie to me
Santa put the presents underneath our tree
Daddy wouldn't lie to me
Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Where you think all the milk and cookies go?
Click, click, click
Clack, clack, clack
Write the man a letter and he'll write you back
Ding, ding, ding
Bling, bling, bling
Last year he gave my mom a diamond ring
Me oh me
My oh my
How you think reindeer fly?
Christmas eve I couldn't sleep
I thought I heard a noise
So I snuck downstairs and everywhere
Were all of my brand new toys
And then I saw my momma
With a cookie in her hand
Well if Santa's real what's the deal
I don't understand
Momma don't you lie to me
Momma don't you lie to me
She said this year Santa's going gluten free
And momma wouldn't lie to me
Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
It's time we leave a plate of vegetables
Click, click, click
Clack, clack, clack
Write the man a letter and he'll write you back
Ding, ding, ding
Bling, bling, bling
Last year he gave my mom a diamond ring
Santa put the presents underneath our tree
Momma wouldn't lie to me
Daddy wouldn't lie to me
Mom and daddy wouldn't lie to me
No, no they wouldn't lie to me
