there was this groovy dude, and his name was Santa Claus, you know?
[Bm] And he used to live over in the projects with this old lady.
[E] And they had a pretty good thing together, because this old lady was really fine,
and she [A] could cook and all that stuff like that.
You know, like, she made the best brownies in [D] town, man.

They used to live with all these midgets, you know?
And the midgets used to make a lot of noise, [D] you know, like [C#m] pounding and hammering and pounding all night, man.
Typical freaks, [E] man.
Oh, yeah, man.
They were really freaks, 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, [D] get their head together, man.
And they started a commune, you 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.
Really good time, man.
Hey, that sounds heavy.
[A#] Yeah, eat the brownies, [B] man.
They drink that tea, [D] man.
And what they did most of the time, though, was make a lot [B] of goodies, you know?
And they had everything [Dm] they needed.
They only needed to come into town maybe once a year or something like [Bm] that.
Pick up the welfare check and the food stamps.
Yeah, [Dm] man.
No, no.
What they did, man, [D] is once a year [Bm] when they made all the goodies, you know, they used to put them in a big chopping [Dm] bag.
And then they used to take the chopping bag and deliver them to all the boys and girls all [Bm] the way around the world.
Hey, [D] well, that's hip, man.
Yeah.
That sounds real nice.
Oh, yeah.
They [B] were really [Bm] nice people, man.
And so [D] much class, man.
They had so much class, you know?
Like even take the [B] way they used to deliver the toys, you know?
It's like Santa [A] Claus used to have this really [F#m] sharp short, man, you know?
It was lowered to the ground at twice [A] pipes, guns up on red, and button-top.
Ooh, [D] clean.
That sounds like a hip snowmobile, man.
No, no.
It wasn't a snowmobile.
It was a sled, you know?
One of those big sleds, you know?
And it used to have it pulled by some [A] reindeers, you know?
Like reindeers?
Some what, man?
Some reindeers, [D] you know?
Used to hook them onto the sled, and then used to stand up inside [D] the sled and hold onto the reins, and then call out their names.
Like, [N] on Donner, on Bleason, on Chewy, on [Dm] Tavo.
Come on, Beto.
And then the reindeers used to take off into the sky and fly across the sky, man.
Wow, man.
That's far out, man.
Yeah.
[D] And then when they flied across the sky, they used to [Am] come down to places like, oh, [G] Chicago, L.A.,. Nueva York, Coima, and all those places, you know? And then [Fm] land on top [A#] of people's roofs, and little Santa Claus [Dm] would make himself real [Gm] small, 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? 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. [F#] Some magic dust? Yeah, magic [A] dust. You know, he used to give a little bit to the reindeer, a [G#] 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? They flew all the way around the world, man. Hey, that's far out, man. Hey, how come I've never met this dude, man? Oh, man, he doesn't do that bit anymore, man. It got too [C#] dangerous, man. Yeah, I can dig that, man, because that's a dangerous [E] bit. Yeah, let me tell you, it sure was, man. [A] Like, just two years ago, man, he got stopped at the border, [D] you know, and they took him into another [G] room and took off his clothes, [C#] man, and searched him, man, searched [C] his bag of goodies, man. And then when he was leaving, man, he was flying through the air, somebody took a shot at his [G] reindeer, you know? Oh, that's a drag, man. Yeah, it really was, [F#] man. And then, man, he went down south, man, and they tried to cut off his hair and his beard, man. And all the 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. Ah, repression, recession, man, it's all the same [G] thing, man. Yeah, it's a [D] drag, man, because we could sure use a dude like that right now. Oh, he still comes around, man. Oh, yeah? Yeah, but [D] he comes in [A] disguises now. Oh, he went underground, man. Yeah, underground, man. I can dig it. Yeah, but you want to see his disguise, man, nobody would [D] ever know it was him, man. Oh, [A] yeah?
