THE HECK WITH OLD SANTA CLAUS
(Loretta Lynn)

Loretta Lynn - 1966


(The heck with old Santa Claus)

Last year I hung my stockin' by the chimney
And old Santa didn't bring me anything
Well, I wrote a note and I told him what to bring me
But I didn't even hear his sleigh bells ring

So, the heck with old Santa Claus
When he goes slicin' through the snow, I hope he falls
I'd like to hit him in his (Ho!Ho!Ho!) with a bunch of big snowballs
The heck with old Santa Claus

(Instrumental Break)

This year I'll build a big fire in the fireplace
I'll be laughin' little a pig I read about
If that big fat whooppin' Red comes down my chimney
He's a-gonna scorch his whiskers, there's no doubt

So, the heck with old Santa Claus
When he goes slicin' through the snow, I hope he falls
I'd like to hit him in his (Ho!Ho!Ho!) with a bunch of big snowballs
The heck with old Santa Claus
Yeah, the heck with old Santa Claus
