Intro

(Verse)

Continues until #END OF FINGERSTYLE# where a single-strum G will be played directly

after the fingerstyle C.

Where will he get those toys

For all them girls and boys

What is there for Santa Clause to do

Hes feeling helpless now

The cause of many a row

These hard financial times affect him too

The elves had had enough

Less than minimum wage is tough

So saint nick had sent them on their way

With no one to assist,

Bills longer than the naughty list (#END OF FINGERSTYLE#)

How on earth would poor Santa Clause pay

Children all over the world, all countries, all races

Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces

None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through

Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U

Chorus

Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year

Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low

Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer

Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters

Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank

Well thats all good and jolly kids,

but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank

A lot on Santas plate,

Mrs. Clause says lose weight

But all this wasnt good for santys head

That clunky old time sleigh,

Was really past its day so Santa clause he bought a Porshe instead

Borrowed the money from Rudolf and now hes charging interest rates,

After being made redundant him and Nick no longer mates

The systems falling apart, the children still in his heart,

Oh where did this whole thing start?

Children all over the world, all countries, all races

Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces

None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through

Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U

Chorus

Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year

Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low

Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer

Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters

Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank

Am (eventually add pinky on

Well thats all good and jolly kids,

but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank

He says get out of my way

Said I need a drink

Sits down with a lager and a mince pie and that man begins to think

SANTAS A CLEVER MAN

Hes got a CLEVER PLAN

A very very clever plan indeed

Hell simply take the toys

From OTHER girls and boys

Satisfies the kiddies, with not a penny to pay,

Move over baby Jesus, hes the saviour of the day

So we can all celebrate Christmas this year

Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates still quite low

But its not hard to spread that Christmas cheer

He tried to make it better, he went through all the letters

Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank

Well thats all good and jolly kids,

but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank
