Santa's stressed out as the

Holiday season draws near

He's been doing the same job now

Going on two thousand years

He's got pains in his brain and

Chimney scars cover his buns

He hates to admit it

But Christmas is more work than fun

He needs a vacation from

Bad decorations and snow

Mr claus has escape plans

A secret that only he knows

Beaches and palm trees appear night

And day in his dreams

A break from his wife his half frozen life

The elves and that damn reindeer team

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Santa's run off to the Caribbean

He thinks about boat drinks and

Fun in the sun ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Plastic creations and crass

Exploitations aren't good

He wants to go back to simple

Toys made out of wood just for the weekend

He'd like to be Peter Pan

Get out of his long johns

And dance with a sword

Dance with a sword in the sand

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Santa's run off to the Caribbean

Marimbas kalimbas he's playing steel drums

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Santa's run off to the Caribbean

Marimbas kalimbas he's playing steel drums

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum

Santa's run off to the Caribbean

A week in the tropics and he'll be all right

Sporting a tan as he rides out of sight

Merry Christmas to all and to all good night

He'll be back in a week

Don't worry kiddies

He just needs a break we all need a break
