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