Intro
(Verse)
Continues until #END OF FINGERSTYLE# where a single-strum G will be played directly
after the fingerstyle C.
Where will he get those toys
For all them girls and boys
What is there for Santa Clause to do
Hes feeling helpless now
The cause of many a row
These hard financial times affect him too
The elves had had enough
Less than minimum wage is tough
So saint nick had sent them on their way
With no one to assist,
Bills longer than the naughty list (#END OF FINGERSTYLE#)
How on earth would poor Santa Clause pay
Children all over the world, all countries, all races
Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces
None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through
Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U
Chorus
Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year
Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low
Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer
Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters
Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank
Well thats all good and jolly kids,
but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank
A lot on Santas plate,
Mrs. Clause says lose weight
But all this wasnt good for santys head
That clunky old time sleigh,
Was really past its day so Santa clause he bought a Porshe instead
Borrowed the money from Rudolf and now hes charging interest rates,
After being made redundant him and Nick no longer mates
The systems falling apart, the children still in his heart,
Oh where did this whole thing start?
Children all over the world, all countries, all races
Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces
None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through
Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U
Chorus
Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year
Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low
Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer
Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters
Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank
Am (eventually add pinky on
Well thats all good and jolly kids,
but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank
He says get out of my way
Said I need a drink
Sits down with a lager and a mince pie and that man begins to think
SANTAS A CLEVER MAN
Hes got a CLEVER PLAN
A very very clever plan indeed
Hell simply take the toys
From OTHER girls and boys
Satisfies the kiddies, with not a penny to pay,
Move over baby Jesus, hes the saviour of the day
So we can all celebrate Christmas this year
Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates still quite low
But its not hard to spread that Christmas cheer
He tried to make it better, he went through all the letters
Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank
Well thats all good and jolly kids,
but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank
