Cold tears fall from his eyes   As he turns into the night and walks away   Lucille runs outside   Just to see if there might be a sleigh   Little Bobby stares down   At the plate where cookies still lay   And tries to understand   Why momma said Santa can't stay.      Chorus:   Momma said Santa can't stay   Said she told him that twice yesterday   Then a car just like Dad's   Pulled out and drove away   After mom said Santa couldn't stay.      Santa can't stay.   --- Instrumental ---      They both heard him coming   Saw Mom run down the hall and holler wait   Doug you're drunk, don't come inside   I'm not joking, I've had all this I can take   He threw a present really hard   That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Rickey   And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here   And said that Santa can't stay.      Chorus:   Momma said Santa can't stay   Said she told him that twice yesterday   Then a car just like Dad's   Pulled out and drove away   After mom said Santa couldn't stay.      Chorus:   Momma said Santa can't stay   Said she warned him that twice yesterday   Then a car just like Dad's   Pulled out and drove away   After mom said Santa couldn't stay.      Chorus:   Momma said Santa can't stay   Said he might just beat the crap outta Ray   Then a car just like Dad's   Peeled out and drove away   After mom yelled Santa couldn't stay.      Momma said Santa can't stay...
