GRANDPA AND SANTA ON THE ROOF


Last year Grandma said
they would not exchange
He found that just a little strange
You see Christmas morning
all those gifts under the tree
You know Grandpa will buy something anyway
But he was told most of those gifts
Were delivered from Santa's Sleigh
He darn near had a heart attack
All those bills he had to pay
Not to mention the electric bill out of sight
All these Christmas lights
Are lighting up the night
He likes to nap every now and then
He was going to have it out last year
But he found these cookies and milk under tree
He drank the eggnog and passed out you see
Now he doesn't mind all these bills
Or the draft being open bringing in the chills
He just wants to know why he and Grandma
are again this year not exchanging
When he has to put up with all the commotion
Grandma making him put up lights and
and his whole life for days she is rearranging
He starts to snore and some kids is on his chin
Santa is bringing things that shoot
The cat screeching and running about to boot
Cars that dart here and there on the floor
This interruption is getting too much to ignore
