Santa, you work harder'n James Brown
At least one day a year
I jest thought you'd got a brand new bag
And left ol' Elmer here.

The earthquake victims got more blues
Than I'll ever know
If'n you give to them 'stead of me
I'll be mighty grateful, bro' (or sis, as the case may be)

But don't you worry none,
I'm mighty easy to please
Jest a scribble or two
To lonely ol' me from you
Will put mah pore heart at ease.
