lyrics

Santa Claus is never home
He works two jobs, not a joke
Spends 60 hours a week
For the other kids down the street
But not for me

Santa Claus is my dad
And he bought me this guitar
And that was the last thing he ever gave me
Before we completely grew apart

Santa Claus drinks alcohol
Before he heads to the mall
It helps him to get to sleep
His personal therapy for the cheap

Santa Claus is my dad
And he bought me this guitar
And that was the last thing he ever gave me
Before we completely grew apart

Santa Claus prefers the whiskey
Santa Claus prefers the gin
Santa Claus wants it all to end
To end
To end

Santa Claus is my dad
And he bought me this guitar
And that was the last thing he ever gave me
Before we completely grew apart
