[Intro]
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho-oh…

[Chorus]
Belt 'round the waist got presents to deliver
Here's a surprise he loved eggnog, no secret
Think his drink's been spiked
Jack Daniel's breath the "cookies" looked suspicious
Like the drugs of '66
No gifts this year unless the fat guy gets sober

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He played our LP's
Then he passed out

[Hook]
Now, Santa Claus is nappin'
Record's playing Zappa
Stranger choice than Abba
This is not Frank Capra
Santa Claus is nappin'
Why'd he pick Frank Zappa?
Santa Claus is…

[Post-Chorus]
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho-oh, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Ho, ho-oh…

[Verse 1]
The stores are closed, predicting nasty weather
Who spiked the nog and drugged the Jolly Elf?
"…Eat that yellow snow"
Hey, is he Santa Claus or is he Santa's brother?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No burglar has chose cheeks
Thus, now you know the truth

[Hook]
That Santa Claus is nappin'
Thought I heard him rappin'
Which I don't mean "wrappin'"
Someone turn off Zappa!
Rather hear some Abba
Anything but Zappa
Anything but…

[Verse 2]
Aaagh, aaagh, aaagh, aaaaaaggghhhhh!
Aaagh, aaagh, aaagh, aaaaaaggghhhhh!
Aaagh, aaagh, aaagh, aaaaaaggghhhhh!
More manical laughter!!

[Chorus]
Maybe, I think he's waking up, oh please
I guess he ate that yellow snow, no!
Looks like he's going back to sleep, happy Hanukkah to you
It's 10 on Christmas Eve
No presents in the tree
He's ho-ing in his sleep, I think I gotta pee

[Hook]
That Santa Claus is nappin'
Thought I heard him rappin'
Which I don't mean "wrappin'"
Someone turn off Zappa!
Rather hear some Abba
Frank Zappa skipped a beat
I'm sighing in relief

[Outro]
He's ho-ing in his sleep
He's hoi-ing in his sleep
He's ho-ing in his sleep
He's hoi-ing in his sleep
He's ho-ing in his sleep
He's hoi-ing in his sleep
He's ho-ing in his sleep
He's hoi-ing in his sleep, oh
But my Santa ho's in his sleep
But my Santa ho's in his sleep
But my Santa ho's in his sleep
But my Santa ho's in his sleep
