Krampus Can Get You
Krampus is coming right up to your bed
He will give you a slap or thump you on your head
He is evil, a devil, and he does what your parents ask.
So if I were you, I would say “yes ma’am” and do this small task.
Krampus can get you
He grabs up the mean
A devil with face of blue
With manners of a queen.
But isn’t there Santa or Jesus or someone to help me?
This came from the small child, an innocent Christmas plea.
If you do what you are told and maybe a little extra too…
The mean snarly Krampus might not be out to get you.
Krampus can get you
He grabs up the mean
A devil with face of blue
With manners of a queen.
The older sister is rolling her eyes at her brother’s tale.
He is just trying to make you do his job, to bring in the mail!
Older siblings began clawing and snarling; little one yelled stop!
The Krampus will come get you, he warned them with a pop.
Krampus can get you
He grabs up the mean
A devil with face of blue
With manners of a queen.
Krampus went on about his business after looking in on them.
They were not the ones he wanted, they were okay with him.
He was looking for the meanest of the mean, the braggarts and such.
He knew he could trade them for slaves with the hard-working Dutch.
Krampus can get you
He grabs up the mean
A devil with face of blue
With manners of a queen.
(Be sure and sing this part with gusto!)
