LYRICS:
I remember back when I was young, on one Christmas Eve
Mom and Dad tucked us in, and we drifted off to sleep
Sometime through that snowy night, old Saint Nick did appear
To fill our house with presents, and lots of Christmas cheer
But morning came, and poor old dad, he just stayed in bed
Face down in the pillow, and that's what Mommy said
Daddy's really sick about what Santa did this year
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer
My sister got a tambourine, and played it pretty well
Me, I got a fire truck, with a shiny silver bell
Little brother got a cap gun, with a realistic sound
Shootin' all the bad guys, to save our little town
But poor old dad, he couldn't move, we thought that he was dead
Groaning like a grizzly, covering his head
Daddy's really sick about what Santa did this year
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer
Mom finally took her chance, to get Dad on his feet
She wanted him to help us out, with the Christmas beast
But as he tried to stuff the turkey, he turned white just like a ghost
Still sad about what Santa did, last night I suppose
Poor Dad was feeling terrible, about the man in red
How could Santa do this, does he drink and drive his sled?
But Daddy's really sick about what Santa did this year
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer
Now I know you might not all believe what Santa did this year
He didn't eat the milk and cookies, but he drank all Daddy's beer.(less)
