F C G C
[Verse 1]
C G
The baggy Christmas stockin's were lyin' on the floor
G C
The empty Christmas wrappin's looked like there'd been a war
C F
The children weren't nestled or snuggled in their beds
F C G C
They went a belly-wappin' down the stairs on their sleds
F C
Then ma tried on her Christmas hat and felt just like a queen
D G
Till pa found out how much it cost and turned all red and green
C G
The Christmas tree was lit up and so was Uncle Sy
G C
He thought he was a reindeer and insisted he could fly
C F
He hollered out, "Hey, Blitzen, why don't you wait for me?"
F C G C
Then landed right smack in the middle of the Christmas tree
[Interlude]
F C G C
[Verse 2]
C G
Uncle Harry was paradin' up and down the hall
G C
A breakin' in new slippers a half a size too small
C F
My sister and her boyfriend were fightin' toe to toe
F C G C
She caught him a kissin' someone else beneath the mistletoe
F C
Then pa got out his squirrel gun the one he got from ma
D G
Now he was only cleanin' it but blasted down the wall
C F
The baby started cryin' and ma said can't you see
F C G C
Christmas comes but once a year and that's enough for me
[Interlude]
F C G C
[Verse 3]
C G
And then from in the fireplace there rose up such a clatter
G C
We ran into the parlor to see what was the matter
C F
The chimney was a shakin' the soot fell all about
F C G C
A voice within was bellerin', "Won't someone let me out?"
F C
We looked up on the rooftop and much to our surprise
D G
We saw eight little reindeer but no one there to drive
C G
Then pa poked up the chimney he used a great big stick
G C
And all at once came tumblin' down a feller called St Nick
