Subject: Lyr Add: Christmas song From: oldhippie Date: 09 Dec 07 - 08:12 AM Does anybody have more verses ( I think there might have been a middle one ), or a recording of the following song. We used to sing it in the 70s. I'm writing this note to tell you That taxes have taken away The things I value most highly My workshop, my reindeer, my sleigh I'm making my rounds on a donkey He's aged, and crippled, and slow So, if I'm not there by Christmas I'm out on my ass in the snow. Santa Claus. |

Click here for more Google hits. I didn't look at every example, but every one I did look at had only the two verses. |
