Santa’s Helper
I used to be Santa’s helper,
But I got fired tonight.
Just ’cause I broke the music box
By windin’ the spring too tight,
Just ’cause I tried all the bicycles
And licked all the candy canes,
Just ’cause I dropped those porcelain dolls
Down from the Tinker Toy crane,
Just ’cause I drove the ‘lectric train
So fast it jumped the rails,
And wiped that purple finger paint
All over the sailboat sails,
And just ’cause I squeezed
The little stuffed dog
Till he gave a little stuffed yelp,
Santa had the nerve to say
I wasn’t too much help.
