A Letter From Santa

A Letter From Santa
lyrics and music by Mickey Maguire

I’m writing this letter to tell you
that taxes have taken away
the things that I really needed
my workshop, my reindeer, my sleigh

I’m now making rounds on a donkey
He’s old, and crippled and slow
So you’ll know when I’m not there by Christmas
I’m out on my ass in the snow

The government says I owe money
and I ain’t been treating elves fair
So they’re gonna take all my income
to pay for Universal ELF CARE

So I’m now making rounds on a donkey
He’s old, and crippled and slow
So you’ll know when I’m not there by Christmas
I’m out on my ass in the snow

Yes, I’m out on my ass in the snow.
