The Lyrics
Funny Christmas to all and to all a good write!!!
The North Pole has Santa Claus
Lumps of coal left Santa Claus
He’s over the hill and still he does his job
(Brought presents to: Ken, Kline, Kate, Devon, Nick, Clive, Thor, Steve, Sue, Son… You all!)
Nightly stroll takes Santa Claus
Its Christmas Eve now, Presents brought
Its tradition that he’ll pig out on snack food
This is the North Pole to Santa Claus
You’re now over Bombay
Wrapping papered boxes you left everywhere
At least for all the good kids that don’t swear
This is Santa Claus to the North Pole
I’m landing on a roof
And I’m slipping down the filthiest chimneys
This would be easier if I was still skinny
Tonight I’ll be breaking into your pads
All over the world
But please do not shoot cause I bought some stuff for you
Each year I bring 100,000 smiles
The morning is a thrill
When you see the gifts I dropped in your home
Reindeer help when I am feeling rushed
They float!
The North Pole to Santa Claus
Can’t move your sled there’s too much fog
Do you need help Santa Claus?
Are you stuck there Santa Claus?
Are you flying Santa Claus?
Are you…
Rudolf’s nose helped us out of that jam
Now you’ll hear me croon
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year too!!!
Lumps of coal left Santa Claus
He’s over the hill and still he does his job
(Brought presents to: Ken, Kline, Kate, Devon, Nick, Clive, Thor, Steve, Sue, Son… You all!)
Nightly stroll takes Santa Claus
Its Christmas Eve now, Presents brought
Its tradition that he’ll pig out on snack food
This is the North Pole to Santa Claus
You’re now over Bombay
Wrapping papered boxes you left everywhere
At least for all the good kids that don’t swear
This is Santa Claus to the North Pole
I’m landing on a roof
And I’m slipping down the filthiest chimneys
This would be easier if I was still skinny
Tonight I’ll be breaking into your pads
All over the world
But please do not shoot cause I bought some stuff for you
Each year I bring 100,000 smiles
The morning is a thrill
When you see the gifts I dropped in your home
Reindeer help when I am feeling rushed
They float!
The North Pole to Santa Claus
Can’t move your sled there’s too much fog
Do you need help Santa Claus?
Are you stuck there Santa Claus?
Are you flying Santa Claus?
Are you…
Rudolf’s nose helped us out of that jam
Now you’ll hear me croon
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year too!!!

"They float" cracked me up. A better use of the one line would have been:
"But please do not shoot cause I bought you all some loot"
"But please do not shoot cause I bought you all some loot"
Merry: I actually like that line better and if this ever gets a recording that's the line I'm going to use. I like the use of rhyming.
I'm looking for an idea for this song myself, though because of the slow tempo there's really not that much to it.. The countdown using names was a nice touch. I wonder how they swear in Bombay. I'm sure Santa knows.
This was delightfully cute, and genius move on the countdown section. Personally, the "they float" line does not work for me, because Pennywise the monstrous demon in Stephen King's IT utters that numerous times in a completely different context. But still an EXCELLENT Xmas-themed parody!
(Artistry) This was a really good parody, nothing too outlandish about it, just a slightly silly take on the whole Santa deal. Although like Agri, the "they float" line is kinda diminished by the Tim Curry clown movie. Thay little nitpick aside, 555!
For some reason the line "This is elf control to Santa Claus" popped into my head. Fun idea and a great fit for this tune.
(Artistry) I guess I was a bad boy...all I got was 555 lumps of coal. On a serious note, I see how you made your take on the Oddity gel. Where were you 9 years ago?!
(Artistry) I still like 'they float'!
Agreed with Syncro, a fine fit for the theme. Lile Merry, I also chuckled at "they float"!
Ditto Agri on "they float"as to the IT reference, however I think that actually makes an ironic giggle come out. . .Good parody overall
Well done as usual matty. Especially liked the naming rhymes and 100000 smiles. Yay Santa. Tough choices this round
