Santa comes once a year, we all know

Oh, Lord, look what Santa did
A
(He's messing with me)
E
They call it Merry Christmas

But I say Santa's messin' with the Kid

He came in cold, sipped my tea
A
He sat my wife upon his knee ... oh

I say, Santa's messin' with the kid

Lord! Oh, look what

They call it "Merry Christmas", but

I say, Santa's messin' with the kid
