I'm telling Santa to cancel Christmas this year,
Don't feel one bit merry, and the season's almost here.
I don't want to shop, or spread holiday cheer
So Santa won't you please cancel Christmas this year?

Family's far away, not one of them is near
Son is off to war, festooned in army gear
My Sweetheart up and left me, ran off with some young steer
So Santa won't you please cancel Christmas this year?

My old dog, Charlie decided to disappear
I think he ran away while I was drinking beer,
Now I'm kind of sorry I kicked him in the rear.
So Santa won't you please cancel Christmas this year?

The cat knocked over the tree, just as I would fear.
It hit my wooden display, chipping the veneer,
Busted the red nose off Rudolph the reindeer.
So Santa won't you please cancel Christmas this year?

Got some kind of infection inside my inner ear,
And the state of my confusion is utterly unclear.
I'm begging you again, with a heart that is sincere
So Santa won't you please cancel Christmas this year?

I haven't been good at all, everything is true you hear
I gave up all my scruples, which cost me my career
My life is out of control, or so it would appear
So Santa won't you please cancel Christmas this year?
