Nobody Cares About Santa

Used to be, I'd stand on the busiest corner
Ring my bell and make the people smile
Nowadays, they pass me by and who knows why?
Could it be that old St. Nick's gone out of style?

Well, nobody cares, nobody cares
Nobody cares about Santa
They read their list then you get dismissed
‘cause nobody cares about Santa Claus.

Used to be the kids waited hours to see me
All that joy would almost make you cry.

Now they think I'm just passe', some dumb cliché'
And it makes me wonder why I even try.

Well, nobody cares, nobody cares
Nobody cares about Santa
You once were revered.

Now they yank off your beard!
‘cause nobody cares about Santa Claus.
Is this all a sign of a sad decline?

Is this all an awful sign, a miserable sad decline?
I never knew such disrespect could
Ever have existed
No wonder this whole city
Has been naughty listed!
“Ho, Ho, Ho Ho! Ho Ho! Ho Ho Ho!”

Nobody cares about Santa Claus
Nobody cares about Santa Claus
Nobody! Nobody! Nobody!

“Nobody! Nobody!”
“Whoa, Buddy!”

Nobody! Nobody!
Nobody cares, nobody cares!
Nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares!

How can Santa Claus
Be a hopeless cause?

How could good old Santa Claus
Ahh, hopeless, a totally hopeless cause!
Ooooh…

Even little children think that Santa's overrated
I kinda get the feeling that New York is jaded!

Kinda get that feeling too
Well, nobody cares, nobody cares
Nobody cares about Santa
The bringer of bliss.

What kind of world is this
Where nobody cares about weary, fed-up
Ready to hang the sled up Santa Claus?
“Ho ho ho? No! No! No!
