Christmas time rolls around once a year

And I can't hardly wait

But Daddy looks at it differently

He don't mind if it comes late

Us kids get everything we want

And momma gets a whole lot too

And Dad's still got the same old thing

He never gets nothing new 



Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket

Once again this year

He surprised with all kinds of gifts

Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer

Momma got a brand new apron

And once again wouldn't you know

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket 



This year Daddy had a plan

To get old Saint Nick back

He ate his milk and cookies

And hid all of his slacks

But Santa he knows everything

You know he can't be fooled

And Dad's still got the same old thing

He never gets nothing new 



Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket

Once again this year

He surprised with all kinds of gifts

Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer

Momma got a brand new apron

And once again wouldn't you know

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
