Intro
A# Dm Gm D# x4
A# Dm Gm D#
Well mama opened up a can of worms today
A# Dm Gm D#
Heard her on the phone trying to think of ways
A# Dm Gm D#
That she could break the news that Santa Claus was fake
A# F A#
Mama, you crazy
A# Dm Gm D#
Just quit your wasting money buying toys for me
A# Dm Gm D#
They're already made -- just you wait and see
A# Dm Gm D#
And come Christmas morning they'll be under the tree, oh
A# F A#
So let's be lazy
D# A# F A#
And poor mama don't believe that there's a Santa Claus
D# A# F A#
She gave up eating chocolate, it must be the withdrawals
D# A# F A#
Or just another side effect of menopause
D# A# F A#
'Cause how could someone not believe in Santa Claus?
Poor mama
A# Dm Gm D# x2
A# Dm Gm D#
Well daddy says we gotta get the roof replaced
A# Dm Gm D#
Where's he gonna land? Or park his sleigh?
A# Dm Gm D#
We should probably wait 'til after Christmas just in case
A# F A#
I'll help ya if you pay me
D# A# F A#
And poor daddy don't believe that there's a Santa Claus
D# A# F A#
He probably got electrocuted deckin' halls
D# A# F A#
Or all the years of smoking things against the law
D# A# F A#
'Cause how could someone not believe in Santa Claus?
A#
Poor daddy
A# | Dm | Gm | D# x4 (here's a riff in the song)
Gm C D# A#
How can little old me be the only rational one?
Gm C
To all of you who've never believed
D# F
You can take it up with him when he comes
D# A# F A#
But poor mom and dad don't believe in Santa Claus
D# A# F A#
They need to be in therapy, I mean they seem pretty lost
D# A# F A#
'Cause Santa was the greatest dude there ever was
D# A# F A#
So how can people not believe in Santa Claus?
A# Dm Gm D#
Poor mama
A# Dm Gm D#
Poor daddy
