Lyrics

SANTY CLAUS TOLD ME (HE'S LOOKIN' FOR YOU!)
by Chris Koch

This year when I went to visit Santy, I wasn't in a proper Christmas mood
My breakin' heart was achin' oh, so badly. I'll say it... I was surly, mean and rude
The other kiddies set they big ol' butts upon his lap
And asked the jolly elf to bring them loads o' Christmas crap
When it was my turn, I felt somethin' brittle inside snap
And dark desires oozed out of my heart like putrid sap

I broke down and I tol' him
"Dude, I know that this ain't right
But I just can't think of nothin' else I really want on Christmas night"
He promised, on the 24th, while on his merry flight
He'd be lookin' out for you
To make my twisted Christmas wish come true


Sometimes Life, it doesn't treat ya fair
Like when you left me darlin' - How could you dare?
You left me cold like a snowman with no hat
Well I'm feelin' rather frosty honey
You shouldn't be surprised about that

Now I'm not the kind to hold a grudge but you hurt me through and through
Luckily I found me a very large friend to do what I can't do

You won't be actin' quite so high and haughty
When you find out the big man thinks you're very, very naughty, darlin'
Santy Claus tol' me, He's lookin' for you!

Sure he's kind, but he can also be rough
He got those gloves and boots and girl he'll be showin' you some stuff alright
He's gonna rain, dear, wrath down upon your head
No need to explain, dear, just why he always wears red

This year, disaster will be slidin' down your chimney
You gonna wish you never messed with me, by jimn'y
He's gonna dump a big ol' lump o' coal in your sock
I only wish that I could be there just to see the look o' shock on your face cause
Santy Claus tol' me, He's lookin' for you!

Blitzen and Vixen, They both a-fixin'
To show you how they like to do with a fireplace
Dasher and Dancer, Donner and Prancer
They gonna do a high-steppin' number all over your face

I bet you think (silly girl!) that he'll be bringin' you lotsa toys
But this year when he shows up with Rudy and the boyz (Surprise!)
He's gonna show you he's got talent with that whip
And you won't have breath to scream, when you're in his mighty grip

The cops will all be out, tryin' to surround him
But they ain't got a snowball's chance
Ain't no one ever found him!

He'll be usin' some special Christmas magic
To do some black and bruisin', you'll be lookin' rather tragic honey, 'cause
Santy Claus tol' me, He's lookin' for you!
Santy Claus tol' me, He's lookin' for you!
(And he ALWAYS finds what he's lookin' for darlin'!)
