Lyrics
Santa Claus Is A Criminal
Santa's going down the chimney now
But there's something wrong about it somehow
He seems to be carrying an empty sack
But its bursting at the seams when he comes back
Santa's climbing back into his sled
While everyone is still in their beds
He emerges quiet as a mouse
He's stolen all the presents from the house
Chorus
Santa Claus is a criminal
He started young and he's doing it still
He makes Christmas time a sad occasion
Coz when he calls its a home invasion
Verse
Santa's working in his grotto
Dreaming of winning the lotto
The kids takes turns sitting on his knee
They're as happy as they all could be
He gives a little girl a plastic locket
While he's dipping both her pockets
He smiles while he's commiting robbery
He's the meanest Santa there could be
Chorus
Santa Claus is a criminal
He started young and he's doing it still
He makes Christmas time a sad occasion
Coz when he calls its a home invasion
Verse
Santa's the worst person you could find
He's made a career of robbing mankind blind
If you order presents on his website
He'll hack your bank account before you sleep tonight
Chorus
Santa Claus is a criminal
He started young and he's doing it still
He makes Christmas time a sad occasion
Coz when he calls its a home invasion
He makes Christmas time a sad occasion
Coz when he calls its a home invasion
