Something happened Christmas night
It gave the children quite a fright
In the morning when they came down
They found a body on the ground
After a long, dreadful pause
They realized it was Santa Claus
Guts spill from the fireplace
Coal embedded in his face
Where's Grandpa when we need him
To make our lives so much less dim?
Santa died
Children cried
They laughed when we called 911
They said we were just having fun
"There's no Santa Claus," they said
Then who's this here, lying dead?
A man in a clever disguise?
We pull the hair back from his eyes
We all are shocked by what's revealed
It's Grandpa here that has been killed
A haunting realization
There goes my Christmas vacation
Santa died
Children cried
Grandpa died in my living room
My fireplace was his tomb
There'll be no more Christmas cheer
For Santa Claus is dead, I fear
Santa died
Children cried
Santa died
Children cried
My grandfather I resent
Without him, no presents
