Lost my favorite reindeer In a hurricane
Got soakin' wet   On account of rain
Countin' my troubles   By threes and by twos
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

What I wouldn't give  For just one silent night
Just me and Mama Claus  By the warm fire light, yeah
But Christmas time is comin' There's just so much to do
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

Well I know every single chimney  Like the back of my hand
People leave me milk & cookies  And I just think that's grand
As the story goes   I'm a dearly loved man
But the reason for the season  Some folks just don't understand

So it's back to the workshop   To make some more toys
Can't wait to give them   To all the girls and boys
I'm hookin' up my sleigh   Go ahead and spread the news
But sometimes      Even Santa Claus gets the blues

But sometimes  (sometimes)     Sometimes  (sometimes)
Even Santa Claus gets the blues
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooohhh
