Yeah Santa Claus Where have you been? I've been waiting here Just to let you in Yeah Santa Claus What you got on your back? Is there something for me inside that sack? I want a brand new car A twangy guitar A cute little honey And lots of money Santa Claus Won't you tell me please? What you gonna put under my Christmas tree? And he just said Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin' Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin' Yeah Santa Claus I've been waitin' oh so long Now don't you, don't you do me wrong I want a brand new car A twangy guitar A cute little honey And lots of money Santa Claus Oh won't you tell me please? What you gonna put under my Christmas tree? And he just said Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin' Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin' Oh no Oh no no no Nothin' for Christmas No Oh no I got nothin' for Christmas No no Oh no I get nothin' at Christmas time
2.	Santa's Beard 01:53	lyrics	buy track
Once a year, my friend puts on a red suit And hangs around with me and my wife Now I can't help but feeling jealous Each time she climbs on his knee And she stands beneath the mistletoe, screaming For him to stand beneath the mistletoe, screaming Now I can't help but feeling jealous Each time she climbs on his knee Why must she climb on his knee? I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard She kissed him once and whispered in his ear I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard I wish he would go He's breaking up my home She always had this twisted side to her But she'd never drag my name around town But lately she's been humming cheating songs And I don't like that fat guy around No I don't like that fat guy around I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard She kissed him once and whispered in his ear I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard I wish he would go He's breaking up my home I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard Thrilling (thrilling) Christmas (Christmas) Trembling fear I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard I wish he would go He's breaking up my home
3.	Feast of Lights 02:36	lyrics	buy track
You never write, you never call And now you wander in the hall You look familiar I barely know your face at all We never get together at all 'Til the last day of Chanukah I got you a harmonica And a bag of chocolate coins The only thing we have is fights But there's got to be a change tonight Please be nice on this Feast of Lights We never get together at all 'Til the last day of Chanukah I got you a harmonica And a bag of chocolate coins The only thing we have is fights But there's got to be a change tonight Please be nice on this Feast of Lights Please be nice on this Feast of Lights Please be nice on this Feast of Lights
4.	Careless Santa 02:16	lyrics	buy track
Careless Santa Spoiled my Christmastime Thoughtless Santa How can I forgive him? Been so good all year long Bag of money Was all I asked him for Down my chimney it came My one Christmas wish Landed on my arm and broke it Careless Santa Spoiled my bankrobbing scheme Thoughtless Santa How can I forgive him? I laid low like we planned Bag of money Is all he stole for me Down my driveway I came The place was crawling with cops Spotted the cast on my arm and they busted me Careless Santa Thoughtless Santa
5.	O Tannenbaum 02:08	lyrics	buy track
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum Wie treu sind deine Blätter Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit Nein, auch im Winter wenn es schneit O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum Wie treu sind deine Blätter

about

These recordings were made over the years in very different times and places. “Santa’s Beard” originally appeared on TMBG’s Lincoln album. “O Tannenbaum”was a 7" vinyl single recorded at a soundcheck with the band’s first live line-up at Fairfax High School in Hollywood, CA. “Careless Santa” is taken from the debut album of Mono Puff, a Flansburgh side project. “Feast of Lights” was recorded for a Chanukah compilation called Festival Of Light 2. And “Santa Claus” is a brand new recording of The Sonics’ 60s garage classic only available here.
