Lletres: Charlie McDonnell. Other. In The Absence Of Christmas.


Sitting in the living room
Staring at the decorations
Feel so out of place in this house
Sucking on a toffee apple
Munching on some pumpkin pie
Seems so out of place in his mouth

Such incongruous cuisine
He eats a tangerine
To clean his palette
Someone get that man a mince pie
Before he starts to cry
Ding dong merrily on high

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?

Trick-or-treaters come a-knockin'
On St. Nicholas's door
But he ain't got no candy for them
Trick-or-treaters gettin' angry
Throwing eggs at Santa's door
But he tells them they'll be sorry come December 24

This holiday, it makes no sense
No Gold, no Myrrh, no Frankincense
Baby Jesus would be taking offense
Santa's slouching by the fire
In his jovial attire
He collapses to his knees
Won't somebody help him please?

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?

And he lights a Jack-o-lantern
And he throws it in the road
And those kids they run a'screaming
As the lantern does explode
But the parents of those kiddies
Hold old Santa to the ground
Now saint Nick is quite surrounded
And Halloween is safe and sound

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
