Santa Ain’t Comin’

[Verse 1]
Listen up now, kiddies, yo, it's Santa here
And no, I won't be coming down your chimneys this year
The elves and Mrs. Claus and I have almost given up
It seems we just can't satisfy your need for all that stuff
No matter what I bring you, it's never quite enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want
Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want
Bigger, better, more expensive
Gotta have it, oh, please Santa

[Chorus]
Santa ain't comin', no more ho-ho
He's really mad, everybody's been bad
I've had it up to here
Santa ain't comin', no morе ho-ho
He's really mad, evеrybody's been bad
You're on your own this year

[Verse 2]
It's high time Mrs. Claus and I did something for ourselves
Put Rudolph out to pasture, and lay off all the elves
'Cause all we hear is "gimme, gimme", never "thanks" or "please"
We might just lease the North Pole to the Japanese
Their factories are efficient, they can make your toys high tech
I'd rather be out fishing, let them be a nervous wreck
All this wantin' and this wishin's just a big pain in the neck

[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want
Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want
Bigger, better, more expensive
Gotta have it, oh, please Santa
You're pushin' it

[Chorus]
Santa ain't comin', no more ho-ho
He's really mad, everybody's been bad
My fuse is getting short
Santa ain't comin', no more ho-ho
He's really mad, everybody's been bad
You've really popped my cork

[Verse 3]
It started out with giving but you all missed the point
Whenever you're not getting, your little nose gets outta joint
Your pining and your whining, they drive me up the wall
I'm unemployed this Christmas, I got no work at all
Now Mrs. Claus says, "Santa, just give 'em one more try"
How I'd love to watch that sleigh and watch those reindeer fly
Nah, you won't be satisfied

[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want
Gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want
Bigger, better, more expensive
Gotta have it, oh, please Santa
Chill out, rug rats

[Chorus]
Santa ain't comin', no more ho-ho
He's really mad, everybody's been bad
I can't come to grips
Santa ain't comin', no more ho-ho
He's really mad, everybody's been bad
Read my lips

[Verse 4]
That gimme, gimme, want, want, impresses me a lot
It's a sign of character, huh, huh, not
But wait, what's this you're saying? Am I to understand
You admit that all your "gimmes" have gotten out of hand?
You're saying now you've got enough, and you'd like to share?
With kids who may not have as much? Well, hold on, I'll be there
Hey Rudolph, Donder, Blitzen, get the lead out, here we come
'Cause Christmas time is here and there's a job that must be done

[Outro]
Santa is comin'
Get inside, Grandma, the reindeer are restless tonight
Santa is comin'
Oh, by the way, forget the milk and cookies
How 'bout a little steak and lobster for Santa?
Santa is comin'
Now you kids can have the lima beans and fruitcake
It's good for ya, take it from Santa
Santa is comin'
Okay now, where's my list? Let's see, little Georgie's been fibbing again, he gets broccoli
Santa is comin'
Here's Santa
