Santa's Little Worrier

How will that feller get down mama's chimney He is so far from what folks call skinny Will I have to call for him that there emergency team Oh what if his suit busts at the seam That jolly old Christmas fellow will he scream, yell and bellow as he lands amongst that soot As he descends from our roof Well I've waited fur furever, well for soooo long I'd better, to keep a wake--- sing a Christmas song The words of Santa's reindeer come quickly to ma mind Gosh I hope he don't burn his behind...
