INTRO:
Out on the third planet closest to the sun
there’s a special celebration and it sounds quite fun
A jolly old fellow brings toys to everyone
on a holiday they call Christmas

Now I’m not gonna lie, it makes no sense to me
but here’s what Earthlings told me about this Christmas mystery

ONE, TWO, THREE - X

VERSE 1:
Santa is a furry freak with epic superpowers
He flies to every human home in under fourteen hours
He’s a master burglar - a pro at pickin locks
If you don’t leave milk and cookies out
he will put dung in your socks

VERSE 2:
If you act nicely through the night and don’t jump on your bed
Santa comes with sugar plums and hurls them at your head
But if you’re on his naughty list he shoots missiles at your toes
He might just roast your chestnuts with his powerful flamethro - wer

CHORUS A:
Rein, rein, rein, rein, rein!
Deer, deer, deer, deer, deer!
I don’t know what Christmas is
but Christmastime is here!

VERSE 3:
He’s compelled his creepy elves to do his every wish
One sought to be a dentist now he’s sleeping with the fish
Mrs. Claus, she works the pole, plans her man’s demise
Soon the elves will all rise up and stab out Santa’s eyes

CHORUS B:
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Earthlings are so weird!
I don’t know what Christmas is
but Christmastime is here!

[REPEAT CHORUS B]

OUTRO:
What the heck’s a turtledove
and who lit up that deer?

I don’t know what Christmas is
but Christmastime is here!
I don’t know what Christmas is
but Christmastime is here!

Or maybe it’s there - or it’s somewhere
I don’t know - I don’t know
