Sitting in the living room

Staring at the decorations

Feels so out of place in this house

Sucking on a toffee apple

Munching on some pumpkin pie

Seems so out of place in his mouth

Such incongruous cuisine

He eats a tangerine to clean his palate

Someone get that man a mince pie

Before he starts to cry

Ding dong merrily on high

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

Oh, whoa oh

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

Trick or treaters come 'a knocking

At saint Nicolas' door

But he ain't got no candy for them

(oh no no)

Trick or treaters getting angry

Throwing eggs at Santa's door

But he tells the

m they'll be sorry come December 24

This holiday it makes no sense

No Gold no Myrrh no Frankincense

Baby Jesus would be taking offense

Santa's slouching by the fire

In his jovial attire

He collapses to his knees

Won't somebody help him please?

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

Oh, woah oh

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

And he lights a Jack-o-lantern

And he throws it in the road

And the kids all start a screaming

As the lantern does explode

But the parents of those kiddies

Hold old Santa to the ground

Now saint Nick is quite surrounded

And Halloween is safe and sound

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

Oh, whoa oh

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween

Oh, whoa oh

What does Santa Claus do for Halloween
