Santa Doesn't Cop Out On Dope

Sometime anywhere and from any phone

Mistakes were made but there from now on

Hi boys and girls

This is your old friend Sonic Youth

And you know what?

We just got back from the North Pole

And you know what we were doing up there, don't you?

That's right, we saw him alright

And all his little dwarves

Boy, did we get off on them

And we learned some wonderful things about him

And we'd like to sing you all a little song

So why don'tcha, you know, move on up

And come up close and we'll sing to you

Come on, closer, closer, come on, I won't bite

Come on, right down by my shoes

Come on move closer, that's it, great

Okay, huddle all around, and we'll sing you a song

Alright, you too Johnny, come on closer

All year long he's busy making toys

For all the little girls and little boys

He puts them in his sled and gives his whip a crack

On Donder, on Blitzen, but never on smack

'Cause Santa doesn't cop out on dope

Has he ever even tried it?

Well, you know, the answer's no

So little kiddies, here's my point

Just leave him cookies and save your joint

'Cause Santa Claus turns on it his own way

Watching you and I turn on, on Christmas day

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, David Geffen

Merry Christmas, everybody
