lyrics

Ohohoh Santa, ohoh Santa Claus

Santa’s coming round, he’s on his way
You can hear the bells a-jingling they are ringing on his sleigh

But I don’t know the man at all
He’s hardly here, he never calls
I don’t want your presents, no, I want your company

He’s in and out in seconds in the night
I know you’re under pressure darling but please just take the time
We put out snacks and brandy for you
Carrots too for reindeer but you
Barely touch them, barely linger, barely even try

It’s weird enough, you breaking in, so rest your feet and wag your chin Please just let me hear your thoughts, let me see the real Santa Claus

One by one, he’s breaking into houses, breaking hearts
Then he’s gone, leave me wondering who he’s seeing now
I don’t want your presents, I just want to see your face
So hang around a second and just settle in this place
You know I don’t feel so special, don’t know if you even care
We’ll go around and round and round and do this all again next year

Ohohoh Santa, ohoh Santa Claus

We’ve got all of the things we’ll ever need.
We don’t gifts in stockings or beneath the Christmas tree
We need to feel connected, need some decent quality time together

We need them, they need us, and even you need me

We’ve all got deadlines Santa don’t you see?

The sun is rising somewhere and you’ve some place to be
You’ve got to make an effort
and this Christmas let’s be better

I will open my heart and let you in if you let me

It’s weird enough, you breaking in, so rest your feet and wag your chin

The longer that this game continues the clearer your commitment issues
You come with gifts and never stay, I think you got hurt along the way Please just trust me with your thoughts, let me in to see the real Santa Claus
