Twas the night before Christmas,
And up at the North Pole,
Everybody's going crazy;
Everything's out of control

The toy shop is on fire,
The toys melting on the shelves,
And you can hear Mrs Claus screaming,
"I warned you never trust those elves"

Unless something drastic happens fast,
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly
And the sleigh's in the shop
'Cause it's broken down,
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)

Very much to his disliking,
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking
With a sign that reads, Ho ho slow down,
Santa Claus is thumbing to town

Every car just drove right past him,
And sped right out of sight
Santa never got to ask them
To drive around the world in just one night

So Kris Kringle started walkin'
Through the snow without his sleigh,
Shed a tear for every stocking
That would be empty Christmas day

Unless something drastic happens fast,
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly
And the sleigh's in the shop
'Cause it's broken down,
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)

Very much to his disliking,
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking
With a sign that reads, Ho ho slow down,
Santa Claus is thumbing to town,
Santa Claus is thumbing to town
