I was not able to go online on Christmas Eve 2007 so I posted this song early, all but three days into casus belli of the yearly air raid event. It's dedicated to my muse somewhere up there in the land of Oz and eggnog and also to tin man Below Average Dave because the title swap idea came to me when I read his "Brainless on this Write" (and when I checked the archives I could hardly believe that it had never been done before).

Santa comes tonight - ruin' finances
Boosting family spite - can you say prancer?
There'll be ripping socks before the night is through

Something in his eyes - I think he's flighty
Something in his style - red, jolly whitey
Some things in his cart - I think he's sniffing glue

Santa comes tonight
To all the people pompous Santa comes tonight
Led by that Rudolph since his nose started to glow
Spittle out his hos
Man he comes in strange array
And claims he's jolly - i.e gay?

And every Christmas night - he fights the weather
On his allstop flight - yearly endeavour
Sunset to first light - old Santa comes tonight

And he's going all the way
With helper elfs back in the sleigh

Every Christmas night - his reindeers' tethered
Faster than the light - in chains forever
That is their sour plight - when Santa comes tonight

Ho-ho! Ho-ho! Ho-ho!
