about

The hard truth of the legend of Santa Claus. RIP Santa.

lyrics

The Jig is up boys. The game is done.
it's been a long time coming, but now now my time is up.
I'll miss making toys for all the laughing girls and boys.
But I guess the golden days are done.

I'm the original Santa Claus. I've been out sourced by amazon, by Craigslist and shopping malls. Where did I go wrong?
The naughty little girls and boys grow up to have bad kids of their own and soon the world won't even know, that old St Nicholas still exists.

The repo men came to reclaim all the reindeer games.
They took away my sleigh, and stuffed Rudolph in a cage.
They hauled him away to examine his DNA
and figure out just how his nose shines that way.
And even dear sweet Mrs Claus ran off with old Jack Frost
I guess the golden days are done.

I'm the original Santa Claus. I've been out sourced by amazon, by Craigslist and shopping malls. Where did I go wrong?
The naughty little girls and boys grow up to have bad kids of their own and soon the world won't even know, that old St Nicholas still exists.

The doctors telling me I've got type two diabetes
but they don't need me anymore to give their children what they wish for.
With insulin I can't pay for with the milk and cookies that I've earned
I guess this Christmas table's turned.

O dear St Nicholas we still believe that you exist
Your rosy cheeks are all the magic that we need,
We just think it's creepy to sit upon a strangers knee
and tell them all the toys that we want.

O dear St Nicholas we still believe that you exist
Your rosy cheeks are all the magic that we need,
Thank you for all the toys and the breaking and entering.
Dear old Santa rest in peace.
Forever Santa rest in peace.
