Lost my favorite reindeer in a hurricane Got so get-away on a count of rain Countin' my troubles by threes and by twos Even Santa Claus gets the blues
Well, I wasn't given for just one silent night Just me and mama close by the warm fire light, yeah But Christmas time is comin', there's just so much to do Even Santa Claus gets the blues
(Chorus) But I know every single chimney like the back of my hand People leave me milk and cookies, I just think that's grand As the story goes, I'm a dearly loved man But the reason for the season, some folks just don't understand
So, it's back to the work shop to make more toys Can't wait to give 'em to all the girls and boys I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go ahead and spread the noose But sometimes, even Santa Claus gets the blues
(Chorus) He goes every single chimney like the back of his hand People leave him milk and cookies, and he think that's grand As the story goes, he's a dear and loved man The reason for the season, some folks just don't understand
So, it's back to the work shop, gotta make some more toys Can't wait to give 'em to all my girls and boys I'm hookin' up my sleigh, go ahead and spread the noose But sometimes, sometimes even Santa Claus gets the blues
