Verse 1
The season of Christmas is here again
Or at least, nearly so, once Advent is through
The young ones have handled their pink and white candles
And wonderful presents and pudding shall be soon
Surely Santa is coming at last!
Surely his great revelation's at hand
He'll fly on a sleigh without aught of delay
To satisfy children's material demands
Verse 2
Yes, see how he rides on an eight-legged steed
From a desolate wasteland where no one has been
He carries a list, and all good little Christians
Should pray that their names are written therein
He knows who is good and he knows who is not
For Santa's good gifts are for only the good
And lasses and lads who are naughty and bad
Their sole recompense shall be fire and blood
Verse 3
The judgment which Santa delivers is cruel
The breath from his nostrils a northerly storm
The beard on his chin with oil shall drip:
His holy anointment this task to perform
Day of wrath! O mourn for the wicked!
What evils await them on Christmas morn?
And what rough beast from out of the east
Slouches to Bethlehem to be born?
