Santa Stole Thanksgiving

Lyrics

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
Drug Plymouth Rock to the North Pole
With his sled
Pilgrims never saw him coming
The Wampanoags they kept coming
That Thursday in November
Got gobbled up by December

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
It was such a happy holiday
No more laid back relaxtion
It’s Black Friday degredation
Since Santa sold Thanksgiving to the mall

Grandma made the stuffing
Said Santa he ain’t bluffing
You better not cry in your pumpkin pie
They’ve been caroling since July

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
It was such a laid back holiday
Now no more football and relaxing
When the harvest moon starts waxing
Santa he’s the turkey after all

Grandma made the stuffing
Said Santa he ain’t bluffing
You better not cry in your pumpkin pie
They’ve been caroling since July

Santa stole Thanksgiving for Christmas
Nothing 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 gotta make a living
Santa stole Thanksgiving
And our fall
