lyrics

Woke up on Christmas morning
And I crawled out of my bed
Grabbed the paracetamol
To ease my aching head
Stumbled to the kitchen
To get some strong coffee
Shook me wide awake to see
Who's looking back at me.
His face was old and wrinkled
His beard was snowy white
I thought I was dreaming
As I stared at that strange sight.

He smiled and said, "good morning
You look a little worse for wear
Do you remember last night
What you did and where?"
I poured myself some water
And tried my best to think
Could it have really happened?
I'd joined Santa for a drink!
Don't go drinking with Santa
You'll never keep up the pace

Slowly it came back to me
Just how the evening played
As me and Santa hit the town
And got completely sleighed.
I don't know where I met him
He suddenly just appeared
And I don't know how we got home
I think Rudolph must have steered
Don't go drinking with Santa
Surely it will end in disgrace

(Guitar break)

On Christmas Eve old Santa's busy checking off his list
But when he gets it finished he likes to go get...
...partying!

Don't go drinking with Santa
You'll never keep up the pace
Don't go drinking with Santa
Surely it will end in disgrace
