(You gotta keep 'em in the closet)

You buy the latest presents
Stereos and CD's
The kids are at school on their way to the classroom
Buying presents will be greatest of ease

But if you dont wanna ruin the big suprise
You don't need electronic surveilance supplies
If one kid knows where all the presents are hid
You've gotta wrap 'em up wrap 'em up wrap 'em up wrap 'em up

CHORUS
Hey
They found the ones under the bed?
Take 'em out!
(You gotta keep 'em in the closet)
Hey
You don't need to shoot 'em dead!
Take 'em out
(You gotta keep 'em in the closet)
Hey now they wont find
All the presents they are getting (like they do all of the time)
Hey
It's wrapping day!

You leave for work on the weekend
It's already too late
They look on the floor and the under your bed
Surprise is wasted and the present's a waste

It goes down the same as a thousand before
They never ever think to look in the closet door
And when its christmas day there will be violence and hate
Because they only got coal
only got coal
only got...

CHORUS
