I'm a man of reason, and they say 'tis the season
Dm7/C G/D C/E E/B
To be jolly, but it's folly when you volley for position
Dm7 G7 C Am7
Never in existence has there been such a resistance
Dm7 G7 C E7
To ideas meant to free us, if you could see us then you'd listen
Dm7 G7 C Am7
Toiling through the ages making toys on garnished wages
Dm7 G7 C E7
There's no union, we're only through when we outdo the competition
Dm7 G7 C C7
I make toys but I've got aspirations
Dm7 G7 C C7
Make some noise, use your imagination

Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
Dm7 G7 C Am7
A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
Dm7 G7 C E7
But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
Dm7 G7 C Am7
Absurd though it may seem, you know I've heard there's even been
Dm7 G7 C E7
Illegal doping, and though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious

Why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
Dm G Csus4 C N.C.
Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
Dm7 G7 C Am7
We're used to repetition so we drew up a petition
Dm7 G7 C E7
We the undersigned feel undermined, let's redefine employment
Dm7 G7 C Am7
We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
Dm7 G7 C E7
He'll sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
Dm7 G7 C Am7
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
Dm7 G7 C N.C. E7
He may thunder, but if he blunders he may wonder where the toys went
