Ooh, ooh
Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
Dragged Plymouth Rock to the North Pole with his sled
Pilgrims never saw him coming
The Wampanoags they kept drumming
That Thursday in November
Gob-gobble about December

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
It was such a happy holiday
No more laid-back relaxation
It's Black Friday degradation
Seems Santa sold Thanksgiving to the mall

Grandma made the stuffin'
Said Santa he ain't bluffin'
You'd better not cry in your pumpkin pie
Maybe Caroline says she lied

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
It was such a laid-back holiday
Now no more football and relaxin'
When the harvest moon starts waxin'
Santa, he's the turkey after all

Grandma made the stuffin'
Said Santa he ain't bluffin'
You'd better not cry in your pumpkin pie
Maybe Caroline says she lied

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
Nothin' lasts forever that's for sure
This stick up is as shocking
As stuffing in your stocking
Kris Kringle
Why did you mingle?
Santa stole Thanksgiving
Even he's got to make a living
Santa stole Thanksgiving and our fall
