(Ho ho ho!) 

Hey grandpa, let's tell them the little story about this Christmas 
(Yeah tell 'em, tell 'em about Christmas!) 

Christmas Eve, 
I didn't get much sleep 
I kept hearing things 
Heavy breathing from the chimney, who could it be? 

(I know who it was) 
(What happened then, Ben?) 
(Yeah, what happened?) 
I went back to sleep 
(Back to sleep? Shit!) 
I'm tired if I don't have sleep 

And in the morn'
I couldn't believe my eyes 
A whale of a corpse 
With a long white beard was hangin' over the fire 

Oh, Santa's he's a big fat f*ck 
Went down the chimney got his fat ass suck 
Oh honey call the lawyers fast 
'Cause Mrs. Claus is gonna sue my ass 

Hey hey hey (hey!) yeah 
(Ohh, oh oh) 

Ok grandpa, step up
Sing in this thing right here 
Tell them what you saw, tell them what you saw grandpa 

I gotta tell you folks 
He wasn't wearin' no clothes (no clothes!) 
He must have rubbed the whole gallon of Crisco off 
From his back and down to his toes 

Well, I was talking to the cops outside 
The dog was lickin' Crisco off of his thighs 
They hauled him away in a double wide 
What a sad, sad way to die, hey hey hey! 

Santa's he's a big fat f*ck 
Went down the chimney got his fat ass stuck 
Oh honey call the lawyers fast 
Mrs. Claus is gonna sue our ass
