Dirty Claus Rag

(альбом: The First Three EP's - 1980)

OK, 'Dirty Claus Rag', take 27!
The night 'fore Christmas we put up a tree,
You know it sure was a beautiful sight to see
The kids standing round with a smile on their face
Were hanging their stockings over the fireplace
And off to bed you know we all did race
Just a-waiting for ol' Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, you dirty dog,
You know you done us wrong.
Woke up this morning, took a look around,
The Christmas tree was gone.
Well, come on, folks won't you listen to me,
I'm gonna tell ya the story about my Christmas tree
This kind of thing it won't happen no more
I'm gonna nail down the tree to the living-room floor
Wait for ol' Santa behind the door
And when he comes I'm gonna say
Santa Claus, you dirty dog,
You know you done us wrong.
Woke up this morning, took a look around,
The Christmas tree was gone.
Well, come on, folks won't you listen to me,
I'm gonna tell ya the story about my Christmas tree
This kind of thing it won't happen no more
I'm gonna nail down the tree to the living-room floor
Wait for ol' Santa behind the door
And when he comes I'm gonna say
Santa Claus, you dirty dog,
You know you done us wrong.
Woke up this morning, took a look around,
The Christmas tree was gone.
