Santa Can't Stay

Cold tears fall from his eyes

As he turns into the night and walks away

Lucille runs outside

Just to see if there might be a sleigh

Little Bobby stares down

At the plate where cookies still lay

And tries to understand

Why momma said Santa can't stay.



Chorus:

Momma said Santa can't stay

Said she told him that twice yesterday

Then a car just like Dad's

Pulled out and drove away

After mom said Santa couldn't stay.



Santa can't stay.

--- Instrumental ---



They both heard him coming

Saw Mom run down the hall and holler wait

Doug you're drunk, don't come inside

I'm not joking, I've had all this I can take

He threw a present really hard

That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Rickey

And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here

And said that Santa can't stay.



Chorus:

Momma said Santa can't stay

Said she told him that twice yesterday

Then a car just like Dad's

Pulled out and drove away

After mom said Santa couldn't stay.



Chorus:

Momma said Santa can't stay

Said she warned him that twice yesterday

Then a car just like Dad's

Pulled out and drove away

After mom said Santa couldn't stay.



Chorus:

Momma said Santa can't stay

Said he might just beat the crap outta Ray

Then a car just like Dad's

Peeled out and drove away

After mom yelled Santa couldn't stay.



Momma said Santa can't stay...
