At the koc local 313
Theres a fat man standing by the soda machine
~~~~
And he knows, he knows, he knows
-
Life can be funny
He calls the hair salon says put loretta on
Cause the mall just called and said the last guys gone
And I know, I know, God knows
We need the money
And hes a big red cherry
But its hard to be merry
When the kids are all laughing
F#m A (Barre Chord 5th fret)
Saying hey its jerry garcia
B~~~~~ (Barre Chord 7th fret)
Aint he cute?
-
The man in the santa suit
And all the moms in town bring their brats around
And they cant sit still or keep their rootbeer down
Now its up, hey how bout that
It looks like a milkshake
Now jimmys grown this year says mommy quick come here
Santas sweaty and he smells like beer
And he says, kid shut your mouth
You give me a headache
And hes jolly and hairy
But its hard to be merry
When the guys at the bar
Say he looks like a fairy
But hes doing it just for the loot
The man in the santa suit
