Listen, there were objects so peculiar
They were not to be believed
All around, things to tantalize my brain
My brain
It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen
And as hard as I try, I can't seem to describe
Like a most improbable dream
Improbable dream
But you must believe when I tell you this
It's as real as my skull, and it does exist!
Here, let me show you
This thing, it's called a present
And the whole thing starts with a box
A box?
Is it still?
Are there locks?
Is it filled with a pox?
A pox? How delightful
A pox!
If you please, just a box with white colored paper
And the whole thing's topped with a bow
Bow?
Bow?
But why?
How ugly?
What's in it?
What's in it?
That's the point of the thing, not to know
It's a bat
Will it bend?
It's a rat
Will it break?
Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lake
Listen now, you don't understand
That's not the point of Christmas Land
Now, pay attention
We pick up an oversized sock
And hang it like this on the wall
Oh yes! Does it still have a foot?
Let me see, let me look
Is it rotted and covered with gook?
Hmm, let me explain
There's no foot inside, but there's candy
Or sometimes, it's filled with small toys
Small toys?
Do they bite?
Do they snap?
Or explode in a sack?
Or perhaps
Just bring out
Scared girls and boys
What a splendid idea!
This christmas sounds fun
Why?
I fully endorse it
Let's try it at once
Everyone please, not so fast
There's something here that you don't quite grasp
Well, I may as well give them what they want
And the best I must confess I have saved for the last
For the ruler of this Christmas land is a fearsome king
With a deep, mighty voice
At least, that's what I've come to understand
And I've also heard it told
That he's something to behold
Like a lobster, huge and red
And sets out to slay with his reindeer on
Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms
And on a dark cold night
Under full moonlight
He flies into a fog
Like a vulture in the sky
And they call him Sandy Claws
Well, at least they're excited
Though they don't understand
That special kind of feeling
In Christmas land
Oh well, oh well
