Story about this misheard lyric by: Lydia Helton

I heard this on the sound system in my sister's house. I was amazed at how the singer repeatedly seemed to make references to peeing on Santa. It sounded so much like that at places, including this line, that I got utterly confused as to what the song might be about. And only by consulting a lyrics site did I resolve the confusion.
