Relient K: "Santa Claus is Thumbing to Town" Song Lyrics and Video
"Santa Claus is Thumbing to Town" Lyrics
'Twas the night before Christmas
And up at the North Pole
Everybody's going crazy
Everything's out of control
The toy shop is on fire
The toys melting on the shelves
And you can hear Mrs. Claus screaming
"I warned you; never trust those elves!"
Unless something drastic happens fast
We'll say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because Rudolph's puking balls of holly
And Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly
And the sleigh's in the shop 'cause it's broken down
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause ...
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (WHOA!) (4x)
Very much to his disliking
Santa spent all night hitchhiking
With a sign that reads, "Ho Ho! Slow down!"
Santa Claus is thumbing to town
Every car just drove right past him
And sped right out of sight
Santa never got to ask them
To drive around the world in just one night
So Kris Kringle started walking
Through the snow without his sleigh
And shed a tear for every stocking
That would be empty Christmas day
Unless something drastic happens fast
We'll say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because Rudolph's puking balls of holly
And Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly
And the sleigh's in the shop 'cause it's broken down
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause ...
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (WHOA!) (4x)
Very much to his disliking
Santa spent all night hitchhiking
With a sign that reads, "Ho Ho! Slow down!"
Santa Claus is thumbing to town
Santa Claus is thumbing to town

"Christmas at Ground Zero" is, quite possibly, my favorite Weird Al Yankovic song of all time. It is certainly my favorite Weird Al Christmas song, though my kids vote for "The Night Santa Went Crazy."
