And I'll tell you the story about Santa Claus man
Listen, once upon a time [D] about five years ago
There was this groovy dude and his name was Santa Claus, you [Bm] know
And he used to live over in the projects with his old lady
And they had [E] a pretty good thing together
Because his old lady was really fine
And [A] she could cook and all that stuff like that
You know, like she made the best brownies in town [A#] man
Oh, I can remember them now man
I could eat one [D] of them man, [Bm] wow
Wow, did you know these people man?
Oh [G] yeah man, they used to live next door to me
You know, until they got kicked [D] out man
What, they got kicked out of the projects man?
Yeah, you know what happened [Gm] man
They used to live with all these midgets you know
And the midgets used to make a lot of noise
You know, like [N] pounding and hammering and pounding all night man Typical [G#m] freaks
Oh [Am] yeah man, [G] they were really freaks [E] man
As a matter of fact, they all moved up [N] north together you know
Oh, they had to go get their head together man
Yeah, get their [D] head together man
And [E] they started a commune you [N] know
It was called the Santa Claus and his old lady commune
It was a real famous one up there man
And they used to sit around and groove all the time you know Oh yeah
[D] Really good time man
[Fm] Yeah, that sounds heavy
[B] Yeah, eat [D#] the brownies man, drink the tea [D] man
And what they did most of the time though was make a lot of goodies [B] you know
And they had everything they needed
They only needed [Dm] to come into town maybe once a year or something like that
Pick up the [D] welfare check and the food stamp
Yeah, no no, [F] what they did man
Is once a year [Bm] when they made all the [D] goodies you know
They used to put them in a big chopping bag
And then [Dm] they used to take the chopping bag and deliver them to all the boys and girls
All the way around [D] the world man
Man, well that's it [Dm] man
That sounds real nice
Oh yeah, [B] they were really [D] nice people man
So much class man, they had so much class you know
Like [Dm] even take the way they used to deliver the toys you know
It's like Santa Claus used to have this [A] really sharp [D] short man you know
It was lowered to the ground at twice [Am] pipes, candy [D] apple red, button top, [G] [D] ooh clean
That sounds like a hip snowmobile man
No no, it wasn't a [Bm] snowmobile, it was a [D] sled you know
One of those big sleds [C] you know
[A] And it [D] used to have it pulled by some reindeers you know Like reindeers?
Some what man?
Some [G]
[D] reindeers you know
Used [Dm] to hook them onto the sled
[N] And then used to stand up inside the sled and hold onto the reins
And then call out their names like
On Donner, on Bleason, on Chewy, on Tavo
Come on Beto
And then the reindeers used to take off into the sky and fly across [A#] the sky man
Wow man, that's far out [Dm] man
Yeah, and then when they fly across the sky
They used to come down to places like Chicago, [A#] LA, New York, Coima and all those places you know
[Gm] And then [F] land on [A#] top of people's roofs
And then old Santa Claus would make himself real [Am] small [Gm] you know
Like a real small guy
And he'd come down the chimney
And then he would give you all the stuff that he made man
And dig this man, he did it all in one night man
Hey, just a minute man, now how'd he do that man?
Oh well man, he took the freeway, how else man?
[N] No man, no man, how did he do all that other stuff man?
Like how'd he make himself small man?
And how'd he like, how'd he get the reindeer off the ground man?
Oh well man, he had some magic dust man
Some magic dust?
Yeah, magic dust, you know he used to give a little bit to the reindeer
A little bit to Santa Claus, a little bit more for Santa Claus
A little bit more for Santa Claus
And this would get the reindeer off man?
Oh, got them off man, are you kidding man?

Like just [D] two years ago man, he [Fm] got stopped at the border you know
[D] And they took him into [G] another room and took [C#] off his clothes man
And searched him and searched his [C] bag of goodies man
And then when he was leaving man, he was flying through the air
Somebody took a shot at [G] his reindeer you know
Oh, that's a drag man
Yeah, it really was man
[F#] And then man, he went down south man
And they tried to cut off his hair and his beard man
[C#] And all the [F#] time he was getting stopped and pulled over and asked for his ID man
Just everywhere he went he ran into too much recession man
No man, you mean he ran into too much repression man
