Written by Freedom Fry ( Bruce Driscoll and Marie Seyrat ).

lyrics

Well you’ve seen my suit,
And you heard my name,
Yeah but most of all you know my game,

They call you Santa,
Yeah they call you Claus,
When it comes to Christmas you’re the boss,

Once a year I get high as a kite,
Ride around the sky with my reindeer at night,

Have you been keeping a list?
Did you check it twice?
Seems theres way more naughty than there is nice,

I’ve been a good girl every day,
Mrs. Claus and the elves say I should stay away,

I hate to say it boys,
And I hate to say it girls,
This year Santa’s staying home,
It’s been a bad world,
You won’t hear my sleigh bells jingle jangle in the snow,
‘Cause in case you haven’t heard this year Santa’s laying low,

Oh,
Oh Santa,
It’s been a bad world,
Oh,
Oh Santa,
It’s been a bad world,

So forget your letters and forget your rhymes,
Your cookies and milk won’t cut it this time,

I’ll leave you whiskey by the tree,
I can’t help it, there’s just a sinner in me,

You won’t see me, child,
I’m just a rambling man,
I’ll be staying here in my icy land,

Come down the chimney,
Come to my room,
Mrs. Claus won’t know anytime soon,

So I hate to say it boys,
And I hate to say it girls,
This year Santa’s staying home,
It’s been a bad world,
You won’t hear my sleigh bells jingle jangle in the snow,
‘Cause in case you haven’t heard this year Santa’s laying low,

Oh,
Oh Santa,
It’s been a bad world,
Oh,
Oh Santa,
It’s been a bad world,

But no hard feelings and maybe in a year,
I’ll be coming back around to your atmosphere,

Ta ta for now,
I’m leaving town,
I’ll keep the presents and you can keep the frown,

Oh well, well so long,
If you keep the presents then I’ll keep this song.
