Lyrics

"Bah humbug" is the word that I'm hearing on the street
Everywhere I go there's a grinch taking tinsel off a tree
Tell me it's no good, tell me it's passé
Tell me anything to take my cheer away
Makes me want to clench my fist and sock 'em in the mouth

What would Santa do?
What would Santa do?
Would he strike back?
Would he keep his cool?
'Cause I need a helping hand and I just want to understand
What would Santa do?
What would he do?

Come home, see a pair of boots that don't fit my feet
Hear a "ho, ho, ho" from my room and I know what that means
I never thought this could be, I thought you love only me
But there's some red wool clothes under the mistletoe
And now I want to jump on his sleigh, take off into the sky

What would Santa do?
What would Santa do?
Would he strike back?
Would he keep his cool?
'Cause I need a helping hand and I just want to understand
What would Santa do?
What would he do?

It's not the same as it was
It's not the same as it was

What would Santa do?
What would Santa do?
Would he strike back?
Would he pray for you?
We all need a helping hand, could you help me understand?
What would Santa do?
What do we do?
What would Santa do?
What should we do?
