1
Twas the night after Christmas and all through the trailer
2
The beer had gone flat and the pizza was staler
3
The tube socks hung empty, no candies or toys
4
I was camped out on my old La-Z-Boy
5
The kids they weren't talking to me or my wife
6
The worst Christmas they said they had had in their lives
7
My wife couldn't argue and neither could I
8
So I watched TV and my wife, she just cried
9
When out in the yard the dog started barkin'
10
I stood up and looked and saw Sheriff Larkin
11
He yelled, "Roy I am sworn to uphold the laws
12
And I got a complaint from a feller named Clause"
13
I said, "Clause, I don't know nobody named Clause
14
And you ain't takin me in without probable cause"
15
Then the Sheriff he said, "The man was shot at last night"
16
I said, "That might've been me, just what's he look like?
17
The Sheriff replied, "Well he's a jolly old feller, with a big beer gut belly
18
That shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly
19
He sports a long beard and a nose like a cherry"
20
I said, "That sounds like my wife's sister Sherri"
21
"It's no time for jokes Roy," the Sheriff he said
22
"The man I'm describing is dressed all in red
23
I'm here for the truth now, it's time to come clean
24
Tell me what you done, and tell me what you seen"
25
Well I started to lie then I thought what the hell
26
It wouldn't be the first time I spent New Years in jail
27
I said, "Sheriff it happened last night about ten
28
I thought that my wife had been drinking again"
29
When she walked in from works she was white as a ghost
30
I thought maybe she'd seen one of them UFO's
31
But she said that a bunch of deer had just flown over her head
32
And stopped on the roof of our good neighbor Red
33
Well I ran outside to look and the sight made me shutter
34
A freezer full of venison standing right on Red's gutter
35
Well, my hands were a shaking as I grabbed my gun
36
When outta Red's chimney this feller did run
37
And slung on his back was this bag overflowin'
38
I thought he'd stolen Red's stuff while old Red was out bowlin'
39
So I yelled, "Drop it fat boy, hands in the air"
40
But he went about his business like he hadn't a care
41
So I popped off a warning shot over his head
42
Well he dropped that bag and he jumped in that sled
43
And as he flew off I heard him extort
44
"that's assault with intent Roy, I'll see you in court. "I'll tell you what sheriff if you put a subnet"
45
On me I won't show up ill hold up in the cellar
46
And you'll never rout me outta there
47
So why don't you just
48
Turn car off come
49
In well watch wrestling eat some
50
Easter bunny stew and talk about howta catch that tooth fairy
51
She's been over here about every other night
