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