The Rebel Black Dot Christmas Song o' the Day

They Might Be Giants, "Santa's Beard" from the Then: The Earlier Years compilation (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary:
"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 breakin' 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 cheatin' songs,
And I don't like that fat guy around,
No, I don't like that fat guy around…"
