Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on your troubles will be out of sight, yeah Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay From now on your troubles will be miles away, oh Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore, ah Faithful friends who are dear to us They gather near to us once more, ooh Through the years we all will be together and If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bow, oh yeah, oh And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, oh, oh Faithful friends who are dear to us They gather near to us once more, oh, oh Through the years we all will be together and If the fates allow, oh yeah But 'til then we'll have to muddle through somehow, oh yeah, oh, oh And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, ooh yeah, oh, ooh

My name is Carl But Saint Nick I'm called One month out of the year I hold court in a mall Never seen snow I'm California raised Been the king of this Santa Land here for the last 5 holidays Children and parents line up Waiting anxiously With hopes of a picture and to ask gifts of me I play the part Perfect to a T 'til the gifts have been given and then it's back to old me 11 months a year no one knows who I am As I drift between temporary jobs In my red suit and hat I am where I belong It's good to be the clause I've set my sights on My Mrs. Clause to be In a kiosk by Sears where she sells jewelry I look great with kids I must be on her mind For a man in my powerful place It's just a matter of time I shouldn't wait too long Got to make my move quick Won't have much to offer Come the 26th 11 months out of the year she wouldn't care who I am Without this costume to cover my flaws But I'm irresistible in my glasses and beard It feels good to be the clause My name is Carl But you can call me Nick 5 weeks out of the year I let myself be tricked I'm standing in line Application in hand The work isn't Santa Clause but I'm ho-ho-holding on 'til next year
