Even Santa Claus Gets The Blues

1. Lost my favorite reindeer in a hurricane
Got so get-away on a count of rain
Countin' my troubles by threes and by twos
Even Santa Claus gets the blues.

Well, I wasn't given for just one silent night
Just me and mama close by the warm fire light, yeah
But Christmas time is comin', there's just so much to do
Even Santa Claus gets the blues.

[Chorus:]
But I know every single chimney like the back of my hand
People leave me milk and cookies, I just think that's grand
As the story goes, I'm a dearly loved man
But the reason for the season, some folks just don't understand.

2. So, it's back to the work shop to make more toys
Can't wait to give 'em to all the girls and boys
I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go ahead and spread the noose
But sometimes, even Santa Claus gets the blues.

[Chorus:]
He goes every single chimney like the back of his hand
People leave him milk and cookies, and he think that's grand
As the story goes, he's a dear and loved man
The reason for the season, some folks just don't understand.

* So, it's back to the work shop, gotta make some more toys
Can't wait to give 'em to all my girls and boys
I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go ahead and spread the noose
But sometimes, sometimes even Santa Claus gets the blues.
