At some point in ye olde careere, every hack songwriter has to do a Christmas tune. This is the one I will write. Whew, got that out of my system.

Santa Blues
(c) 2002 Mark Frey

Shooting round the world at the speed of light
doing all the good that he do
but he's lactose intolerant
and out of shape
and sick of those kids nagging him too

even Santa gets the blues

the server with the list on it went down this afternoon
Mrs. Claus is makin' him exercise
you know that he's a stress machine just waiting to go postal
behind those jolly twinkly eyes

even Santa gets the blues

got a feud going on with the Easter Bunny
and the elves are always wanting a raise
it's tough being eternal when you've got no life
and haven't slept since the prehistoric days

even Santa gets the blues
even Santa gets the blues

red is not his color and he really hates snow
the sleigh's got no stereo or phone
and all those women whose kids claim he was kissin'
It's not his fault- they just won't leave him alone!

even Santa gets the blues
