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