 Where will he get those toys
 For all them girls and boys
 What is there for Santa Clause to do
 Hes feeling helpless now
 The cause of many a row
 These hard financial times affect him too
 The elves had had enough
 Less than minimum wage is tough
 So saint nick had sent them on their way
 With no one to assist,
 Bills longer than the naughty list (END OF FINGERSTYLE#)
 How  on earth would poor  Santa Clause pay
Children  all over the world, all countries, all races
Wake  up demember 25th with disappointed faces
None  of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through
Underneath  the Christmas tree is an I.O.U
Spare  a thought for  Santa Clause this year
Wont  hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low
Its  pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer
Hes  trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters
Molly  wants a dolly and John wants a tank
Well  thats all good and jolly kids,
 but my children there is  just no money in the North Pole Bank

A  lot on Santas plate,
Mrs.  Clause says lose weight
But  all this wasnt good for santys  head
That  clunky old time sleigh,
Was  really past its day so  Santa clause he bought a Porshe  instead
Borrowed  the money from Rudolf  and now hes charging interest rates,
 After being made redundant  him and Nick no longer  mates
 The systems falling apart, the  children still in his heart,
Oh  where did this whole thing start?
Children  all over the world, all countries, all races
Wake  up demember 25th with disappointed faces
None  of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through
Underneath  the Christmas tree is an I.O.U
Spare  a thought for Santa  Clause this year
Wont  hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low
Its  pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer
Hes  trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters
Molly  wants a dolly and John wants a tank
 Am (eventually add pinky on
 Well thats all good and jolly kids,
 but my children there  is just no money in the North Pole Bank
He  says get out of my way
Said  I need a drink
Sits  down with a lager and a mince pie and  that man begins to think
SANTAS  A CLEVER MAN
Hes  got a CLEVER PLAN
A  very very clever plan indeed
Hell  simply take the toys
 From  OTHER girls and boys
Satisfies  the kiddies,  with not a penny to pay,
Move  over baby Jesus, hes  the saviour of the day
So  we can all celebrate  Christmas this year
Wont  hear a ho ho ho exchange rates still quite low
But  its not hard to spread that Christmas cheer
He  tried to make it better, he went through all the letters
Molly  wants a dolly and John wants a tank
Well  thats all good and jolly kids,
but  my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank
