Christmas time rolls around once a year
And I can't hardly wait
But Daddy looks at it differently
He don't mind if it comes late
Us kids get everything we want
And momma gets a whole lot too
And Dad's still got the same old thing
He never gets nothing new

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
Once again this year
He surprised with all kinds of gifts
Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer
Momma got a brand new apron
And once again wouldn't you know
Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket

This year Daddy had a plan
To get old Saint Nick back
He ate his milk and cookies
And hid all of his slacks
But Santa he knows everything
You know he can't be fooled
And Dad's still got the same old thing
He never gets nothing new

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
Once again this year
He surprised with all kinds of gifts
Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer
Momma got a brand new apron
And once again wouldn't you know
Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
Once again this year
He surprised with all kinds of gifts
Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer
Momma got a brand new apron
And once again wouldn't you know
Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
