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