Intro
G Bm Em C x4
G Bm Em C
Well mama opened up a can of worms today
G Bm Em C
Heard her on the phone trying to think of ways
G Bm Em C
That she could break the news that Santa Claus was fake
G D G
Mama, you crazy
G Bm Em C
Just quit your wasting money buying toys for me
G Bm Em C
They're already made -- just you wait and see
G Bm Em 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 Bm Em C x2
G Bm Em C
Well daddy says we gotta get the roof replaced
G Bm Em C
Where's he gonna land? Or park his sleigh?
G Bm Em 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
G | Bm | Em | C x4 (here's a riff in the song)
Em A C G
How can little old me be the only rational one?
Em 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 Bm Em C
Poor mama
G Bm Em C
Poor daddy
