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