Ho Ho Ho - Georgie Fame

It was christmas eve and Santa hadn't come

Everyone but me had something in their stocking

I'd been good all year but presents had I none

Just then at the door there came a gentle knocking

It was Mrs Claus with a ribbon round

And Santa sent her when a mistake was found

That left me out of luck

When the presents were packed

In fact

There was nothing left for me

That is why he sent Mrs Claus

For it seems in northern climes where Eskimos abound

It's the thing to do to keep a chap from chilling

Sending out the wife's a doctrine they expound

Thusly Mrs Claus was eager to be willing

How could I refuse custom to obey

I hear they take offence if your shy and say

Thank you very much but I'm not in the mood

How rude

It would be besides Mrs Claus was a living doll

That was christmas day a year or so ago

Still I dread to hear old Santa's sleigh bells ringing

Every christmas eve I pray it doesn't snow

I know when he comes the present he'll be bringing

What he's got for me won't come in any sack

He'll be dressed to kill and I'll be wearing yellow

Several times he wrote and asked to have her back

Ahh but Mrs Claus prefers a younger fellow

It was christmas eve and Santa hadn't come

Everyone but me had something in their stocking

I'd been good all year but presents had I none
