there's something stuck up in the chimney
and i don't know what it is
but it's been there all night long
well, i waited up for santa all christmas night
but he never came and it don't seem right
and there's something in the chimney
and it doesn't make a sound,
but i wish you merry christmas

there's something stuck up in the chimney
and i don't know what it is,
but it's been there all week long
well the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue
and we don't know what we're gonna do
cos there's something in the chimney
and it doesn't move around
and it's been a week since christmas

there's something stuck up in the chimney
and i don't know what it is
but it's been there all month long
well, it's jammed up tight above the fireplace
now the house smells funny, such a big disgrace
that there's something in the chimney
and it doesn't talk at all
and it's been there since last christmas

there's something stuck up in the chimney
and i don't know what it is
but it's been there all year long
i'll be waiting up for santa like i did last year
but my brother says, he's already here
and he's stuck up in the chimney
and he doesn't say a word
and he'll be there every christmas
and we'll have him every christmas
