lyrics

As we turn our attention towards a happy Christmas
If we want dear old Santa to reach in his bag and remember us
We would do well to honor his legendary physique
Spare him the all the lectures on diet and clogged arteries

Don’t you dare put them raisins in Santa’s cookies this year
I know he’s not allergic to chocolate, peanuts or beer
I love you more each and every day
But hear me when I say
Stay away from the raisins this year

I know it’s dear old great grandma’s secret recipe
Let’s admit she was never one to be described as festive or jolly
Our instructions are as such to spread thanks and holiday cheer
So let’s spare dear old Santa of any dehydrated fruit this year

Don’t you dare put them raisins in Santa’s cookies this year
He’s not allergic to chocolate, peanuts or beer
I love you more each and every day
But don’t do Santa that way
Keep the raisins out the cookies this year
