A C#m F#m D x4
A C#m F#m D
Well mama opened up a can of worms today
A C#m F#m D
Heard her on the phone trying to think of ways
A C#m F#m D
That she could break the news that Santa Claus was fake
A E A
Mama, you crazy
A C#m F#m D
Just quit your wasting money buying toys for me
A C#m F#m D
They're already made -- just you wait and see
A C#m F#m D
And come Christmas morning they'll be under the tree, oh
A E A
So let's be lazy
D A E A
And poor mama don't believe that there's a Santa Claus
D A E A
She gave up eating chocolate, it must be the withdrawals
D A E A
Or just another side effect of menopause
D A E A
'Cause how could someone not believe in Santa Claus?
Poor mama
A C#m F#m D x2
A C#m F#m D
Well daddy says we gotta get the roof replaced
A C#m F#m D
Where's he gonna land? Or park his sleigh?
A C#m F#m D
We should probably wait 'til after Christmas just in case
A E A
I'll help ya if you pay me
D A E A
And poor daddy don't believe that there's a Santa Claus
D A E A
He probably got electrocuted deckin' halls
D A E A
Or all the years of smoking things against the law
D A E A
'Cause how could someone not believe in Santa Claus?
A
Poor daddy

F#m B
To all of you who've never believed
D E
You can take it up with him when he comes
D A E A
But poor mom and dad don't believe in Santa Claus
D A E A
They need to be in therapy, I mean they seem pretty lost
D A E A
'Cause Santa was the greatest dude there ever was
D A E A
So how can people not believe in Santa Claus?
A C#m F#m D
Poor mama
A C#m F#m D
Poor daddy
