Subject: Lyr Add: SANTA GOT A D.W.I.
Santa Got A DWI

There won't be no Santa this Christmas Eve.
It sounds so strange it's hard to believe,
But the state patrol's watching everyone these days,
And Santa was weaving around in his reindeer sleigh.

So they radioed to every cop in the states
And it was only a matter of a minute to wait.
When he landed on the housetop, there they were,
And they told Santa to breathe into a Breathalyzer.

Santa refused to take the Breathalyzer test.
The cop said, "then, brother, you're under arrest."
They frisked Santa Claus on that little housetop
And found a miniature bottle of peppermint schnapps.

CHORUS: Santa got a DWI
For weaving around in the sky
And believe me I wouldn't lie
Santa got a DWI

They took Santa down to the county jail,
Gave him one phone call to raise ten thousand bail.
By some strange note, Santa called me.
Said he needed ten grand just to set himself free.

I told him I'd get on it and see what I could do,
But no one would believe the story was true.
In trying to help Santa, I didn't mean no harm.
Now they are trying to put me in the funny farm.

They impounded Santa's sleigh and his reindeer too.
They'll probably end up in the county zoo.
And there won't be no Santa this Christmas Eve.
Can't raise ten grand no one will believe.

CHORUS

The moral to this story don't be mad at MADD.
If you've had a few drinks, you had better catch a cab.
Don't try to drive if you can't walk,
For even old Santa is not above the law.
