Oh, woah oh What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? Trick or treaters come a-knocking At Saint Nicholas' door, but he ain't got no candy for them Trick or treaters getting angry, throwing eggs at Santa's door But he tells them they'll be sorry come December 24 This holiday, it makes no sense, no Gold no Myrrh no Frankincense Baby Jesus would be taking offence Santa's slouching by the fire in his jovial attire He collapses to his knees, won't somebody help him - please? What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? Oh, woah oh What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? Oh, woah oh What does Santa Claus do for Halloween? And he lights a Jack-o-lantern, and he throws it in the road And the kids all start a-screaming as the lantern does explode But the parents of those kiddies hold old Santa to the ground Now Saint Nick is quite surrounded and Halloween is safe and sound Oh, what does Santa Claus do for Halloween? Oh, woah oh What does Santa Claus do for Halloween?
