There won't be any presents this christmas 
no goodies in your stocking 
the milk and cookies that the children left out 
will be left untouched beside the sink 
the reindeer will be staying in their pens this year 
the elves haven't built any thing 
'cause santa got arrested 
last christmas day 
Police got calls on 911 
about a red-suited man who weighed a ton 
there was a clear trail of evidence pointing north 
this was the seventh time it happened on december 24th 
The mounties reached the north pole 
they found it was outside their jurisdiction 
they called up interpol, the finnish police 
to facilitate the suspect's extradition 
they knocked on the door of a well-marked shop 
with a warrant for the owner's apprehension 
then santa got arrested 
christmas day 
Santa was charged with b&e 
his council advised he plead guilty 
there was footage of the crime running on tv 
and photographs of little children sitting on his knee 
The judge expressed concern about the risk of recidivism 
his sentence was commuted 
he got a bond of nonassociation with the elves 
and his reindeer licence was suspended 
he says he's giving up all of his former life 
and now he wants to be a dental assistant 
'cause santa got arrested 
santa got arrested 
santa got arrested 
last christmas day
