Intro: A | C#m | F#m | D x4


      A           C#m         F#m      D
 Well mama opened up a can of worms today
A                 C#m  F#m                 D
 Heard her on the phone trying to think of ways
      A                   C#m             F#m       D
 That she could break the news that Santa Claus was fake
A          E      A
 Mama, you crazy


       A                C#m          F#m      D
 Just quit your wasting money buying toys for me
A                C#m  F#m                  D
 They're already made -- just you wait and see
      A             C#m                F#m       D
 And come Christmas morning they'll be under the tree, oh
A            E     A
 So let's be lazy



            D              A                  E     A
   And poor mama don't believe that there's a Santa Claus
       D              A                  E           A
   She gave up eating chocolate, it must be the withdrawals
      D            A              E     A
   Or just another side effect of menopause
          D                 A              E      A
   'Cause how could someone not believe in Santa Claus?

   Poor mama

      A             C#m           F#m       D
 Well daddy says we gotta get the roof replaced
A                 C#m  F#m           D
 Where's he gonna land? Or park his sleigh?
           A                  C#m             F#m     D
 We should probably wait 'til after Christmas just in case
             A       E   A
 I'll help ya if you pay me



            D               A                  E     A
   And poor daddy don't believe that there's a Santa Claus
       D              A         E       A
   He probably got electrocuted deckin' halls
      D                A              E           A
   Or all the years of smoking things against the law
          D                 A              E      A
   'Cause how could someone not believe in Santa Claus?

   Poor daddy

 F#m     B             D                    A
 How can little old me be the only rational one?
    F#m               B
 To all of you who've never believed
         D                           E
 You can take it up with him when he comes



            D           A                E     A
   But poor mom and dad don't believe in Santa Claus
        D             A          E                     A
   They need to be in therapy, I mean they seem pretty lost
          D             A                   E    A
   'Cause Santa was the greatest dude there ever was
      D              A              E     A
   So how can people not believe in Santa Claus?
        A    C#m  F#m  D
   Poor mama
        A    C#m  F#m  D
   Poor daddy
