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