CLAUS (Russell/Zolli) well, I hang onto Saint Christopher more than old Saint Nick got a bottle and a bone and a big old monkey stick and I got more time than money and I miss my baby so down in the reeds with the tubas and the crows well, his suit is red like blood and his boots as black as coal with the moon in his eyes and the night in his soul he’s the original nighthawk, baby - he’s been that way so long you never see him when he gets there, but you know when he has gone well, he shimmies down your chimney when you’re fast asleep ain’t come to drink your whiskey and he ain’t no chimney sweep ain’t got no companions - he always works alone just the moon up in the sky like a big old grinning bone Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I know I oughta should Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I ain’t been so good he only come around but one time a year, ‘cos that’s his way on the night before the Carpenter’s birthday and he’s carrying a bag that’s filled with plastic and wood I’m feeling worried, Mr. Claus, ‘cos I ain’t been so good Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I know I oughta should Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I ain’t been so good Ruby Lee - let your hair down and come sit beside me love me ‘til tomorrow ‘cos I’m gonna love you ‘til the end of time Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I know I oughta should Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I ain’t been so good Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I know I oughta should Mr. Claus, Mr. Claus, I ain’t been so good 5/19/99
