lyrics

Every year, I hear the rumors swirl around
He can’t be real, he’s just a story fed to children of the town
They say he couldn’t fly his sleigh around the world
he would be noticed flying in the air by all the little boys and little girls

you seventh graders think you’ve got it right
how can he visit every kid in just one night
you say it doesn’t matter if you’re naughty or your nice
how does he have time to check the list not once but TWICE?

Why come he can only enter from the roof
& with the yule log burning down below he’d need to be fireproof
And the old man must be thousands of years old
it seems unlikely to believe that he’s eternal as we’re being told

But for those who think it's so
you think that Santa’s all a show
I'll tell you something you don't know
Before his Santa beard could grow

Santa was trained in evasive maneuvering
by shaolin monks in the early 4th century
That’s why you never see him
In the sky or in your house
He walks around everywhere as quiet as a mouse

And Santa’s sleigh can hold 500 million toys
It goes a 10,000 feet per second but needs cookies for fuel
That’s why he always wants them
Feeding reindeer and the sleigh
he doesn’t need the milk but he makes you leave it anyway

To those who think it, I'll admit I was like you
I couldn’t see how all the stories and the legends could be true

but now the facts are clear, i finally see the light
His secret powers were revealed to me one cold and snowy night

For those who still don’t think it’s so
you think that santa’s all a show
I’ll tell you something you don’t know
before his reindeer's nose could glow

Santa was sold a secret bio-tech company
by soviet scientists with shrinking abilities
That's how he makes it down
through the chimneys once a year
Though he's only inches tall, he's full of christmas cheer

And Santa has access to cloning technology
Beyond what is available to you and to me
That's why he lives forever,
and will always own the sky
His new clone just takes over when the old one starts to die
