Verse 1
All you children listen here
Ain’t gonna’ be no Christmas cheer
Santa’s headed south this year
In an F150 with a case of beer
Forget the gifts and the tree
There he goes in a plain white Tee
He looks pissed, not jolly
I’m guessin’ that’s his last chimney
 
Chorus
Man it sucks to be Santa
The kids, they drive me insane
I’ll grab a Coke in Hotlanta
And skip town on the next plane
 
Verse 2
I saw Santa kissin’ mom
So did that private eye named Tom
Turned out like a bad sitcom
When Mrs. C. dropped the bomb
She got half of the pole
He settled for a lump of coal
That mistletoe took its toll
As old St. Nick dug his hole
 
Verse 3
The elves were unionized
Claimed they were victimized
The labor strike was publicized
Said Claus ain’t civilized
Then there was that lawsuit
When the reindeer killed the old coot
Grandma really was a hoot
But her family sued for the loot

Now that's some funny stuff right there...... I smiled the whole way through......
 
 
 
Good job...!!

So, I stopped believing in Santa when I got all rational like, but I closed my eyes and enjoyed this song like it was my first holiday.
 
Loved that guitar solo too.
 
 
 
 
Well done!
 
 
 
 
 
P.S. I seen Santa drinking Pepsi once. Just saying.

Interesting... Funny song, nicely done. That change from 4/4 to 3/4 in the hook threw me, but I got used to it.

This was a hoot to work on. Thanks for the opportunity Dave.

Very interesting and funny song, but then it does tell a story!! Nice one!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Yea ... it's called prog country ... and you can start calling me Johnny Peart (or is that Neil Cash).

And not one mention of Monkeys.

Too funny! Great job, gents!
