about

"I wrote this song about four years ago (2008). It's a fictional tale about a whacky encounter between a paranoid Santa Clause and a curious twenty-something with gills, who ultimately dethrones the timeless fat man... I always thought "50 ways to leave your lover" would make a great christmas song." -Alex "KinGGeeK" Marlys

lyrics

Lyrics by: Alex Marlys

Didn't catch Santa until I was 23
tried every year, but yeah
I failed miserably
but when I caught him
(when I caught him)
he looked straight at me and said
"Son you're the first who found me"
(oh, word?)
...and then santa tried to drown me...
(say what?)

after he found my gills he explained all of this;
(your gills?)
it is illegal for a santa clause to reminis
(im sure)
and just by being there,
(just by being there)
i jeopardized christmas
(jeopardized christmas)
then he leaped out through the chimney
but i just could not leave it be


caught him again going through his big bag of tricks
3 years must have gone by
cause by then i was 26
but that old fat man
he hadnt aged a bit
the north pole is where they freeze souls..

sweet santa clause are you sick of all the admiring?
I know your summers are long,
but would u ever consider retiring?
or at the very least
could ya tell me if your hiring?
I'm asking nicely, I'm saying please
take me with you when you leave


you mean to tell me you want a job at the north pole?
(that's right)
were not taking applicants,
besides its far too cold
and to those dwarves..
(to those what?!)
you'd be like manute bol
(who is manute bol?)
santa you know that i adore ya
(why thanks)
but i want your job, and im comin for ya
(who me?)

now dasher, now basher
now penny, and ian
on devin, and lemon
and only on weekends
from the top of the verse
to the top admiral
now bash away, bash away, bash away all
bash away all
bash away all
