| Santa used to like to chuckle.
|
| He’s always been a bellyful of laughs,
|
| Sittin' in his Santa Claus chair
|
| Posing for the photographs.
|
| But now he don’t laugh so much,
|
| In fact, about one-third less.
|
| Old Saint Nick got a problem.
|
| Man, he’s in an awful mess.
|
| 'Cause he used to go 'ho-ho-ho',
|
| Now he’s only goin' 'ho-ho' (Oh-oh! Where’d the other ho go?).
|
| I don’t know.
|
| But Santa’s feelin' might low.
|
| He used to do 'hidey-ho',
|
| Now he’s only doing 'hidey-' (Oh-oh! (typewriter ding) Where’d the other ho go?
|
| I don’t know, Santa lost a ho.
|
| Now, Santa’s been doin' his best
|
| To get into the Christmas mood.
|
| Keepin' his little elves happy,
|
| He’s the number one Christmas dude.
|
| But there ain’t no joy,
|
| 'Cause just one toy
|
| Is missin' from Santa’s shack.
|
| He never had a doll go AWOL
|
| Once he got her in the sack.
|
| 'Cause he used to go 'ho-ho-ho',
|
| Now he’s only goin' 'ho-ho' (Oh-oh! (whizz) Where’d the other ho go?).
|
| I don’t know,
|
| But Santa’s feelin' mighty low.
|
| He used to do 'hidey-ho',
|
| Now he’s only doin' 'hidey-' (Oh-oh! (boing) Where’d the other ho go?). |
| I don’t know.
|
| Santa lost a ho.
|
| (Instrumental interlude)
|
| You better find that ho
|
| Before it takes off Christmas eve,
|
| 'Cause a Santa that’s only got two ho’s
|
| No one would believe.
|
| Oh, Santa if you need some cheerin',
|
| Stop by on your way.
|
| Jug Band goin' to par-tay
|
| All the way to Christmas day.
|
| Just open up your bag of joy,
|
| Soon you gonna feel alright.
|
| You’re gonna leave here laughin'
|
| Even if you’re one ho light.
|
| 'Cause he used to go 'ho-ho-ho',
|
| Now he’s only goin' 'ho-ho' (Oh-oh! (Buzz) Where’d the other ho go?).
|
| I don’t know,
|
| But Santa’s feelin' mighty low.
|
| He used to do 'hidey-ho',
|
| Now he’s only doin' 'hidey-' (Oh-oh! Wwwhere’d the other ho go?).
|
| I don’t know,
|
| Santa lost a ho.
|
| But I do know —
|
| Good things in life,
|
| They come and go.
|
| Poor old santa lost a ho. |
