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

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