Lyrics
Cold tears fall from his eyes
As he turns into the night and walks away
Lucille runs outside
Just to see if there might be a sleigh
Little Bobby stares down
At the plate where cookies still lay
And tries to understand
Why Momma said Santa can't stay
Momma said Santa can't stay
Said she told him that twice yesterday
Then a car just like Dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After mom said Santa couldn't stay
Santa can't stay
They both heard him coming
Saw Mom run down the hall and holler away
"Doug you're drunk, don't come inside
I'm not joking, I've had all this I can take"
He threw a present really hard
That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Ray
And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here
And said that Santa can't stay
Momma said Santa can't stay
Said she told him that twice yesterday
Then a car just like Dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After mom said Santa couldn't stay
Momma said Santa can't stay
Said she warned him 'bout it twice yesterday
Then a car just like Dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After mom said Santa couldn't stay
Momma said Santa can't stay
Said he might just have to beat the crap outta Ray
Then a car just like Dad's
Peeled out and drove away
After mom yelled Santa couldn't stay
Momma said Santa can't stay
