The only video for this at YouTube has some character named Irish Billy lip-synching to this song. I recommend you ignore the visual part.


THE CHIMNEY SONG
Written by Bob Rivers

1. There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all night long.
Well, I waited up for Santa all Christmas night
But he never came, and it don't seem right
That there's something in the chimney and it doesn't make a sound,
But I wish you Merry Christmas.

2. There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all week long.
Well, the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue
And we don't know what we're going to do,
'Cause there's something in the chimney and it doesn't move around,
And it's been a week since Christmas.

3. There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all month long.
Well, it's jammed up tight above the fireplace;
Now the house smells funny, such a big disgrace
That there's something in the chimney and it doesn't talk at all,
And it's been there since last Christmas.

4. There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all year long.
I'll been waiting up for Santa like I did last year
But my brother says he's already here,
And he's stuck up in the chimney and he doesn't say a word,
And he'll be there every Christmas.

And we'll have him every Christmas
