We don't believe in You know who[00:00:00]

But we don't let the kids know it[00:00:01]

We're parents who are grown ups[00:00:03]

There's a line we have to toe it[00:00:05]

But we're part of a conspiracy[00:00:07]

About this bearded big fat guy[00:00:09]

Who isn't real who never lived[00:00:12]

Who's old but doesn't die[00:00:14]

We went to the department store[00:00:17]

We climbed out on that limb[00:00:19]

Told the kids that it was You know who[00:00:20]

We said that bum was him[00:00:24]

Then we placed them on his knee[00:00:26]

To me the knee seemed rather bony[00:00:29]

Happily they sat though chatting with that phony[00:00:31]

Told the kids we could provide the proof[00:00:36]

Deceit how I hate it[00:00:40]

We put out the milk and cookies[00:00:44]

Yes I admit I drank and ate it[00:00:46]

Then that fib about the North Pole[00:00:48]

Is if any Elves could live there[00:00:51]

We helped to write and send that letter[00:00:53]

Knowing full well it went nowhere[00:00:55]

You know who comes down the chimney[00:00:59]

How could such a fat man fit [00:01:04]

The whole thing is preposterous[00:01:06]

Yet we get children to buy it[00:01:08]

We have no shame the lies pile up[00:01:10]

You think at least we'd bark[00:01:14]

When we sing of red nosed reindeer[00:01:15]

And snowmen who dance and talk[00:01:17]

Well it's just a harmless story[00:01:22]

A fairytales and Christmas fun[00:01:24]

Not unlike that other theory[00:01:31]

The one about Gods Son[00:01:35]

Where Angels talk to shepherds[00:01:38]

Wise men troop after a star[00:01:40]

And a Virgin has a baby[00:01:44]

Boy that's fetched pretty far[00:01:48]

But we adults buy that conspiracy[00:01:51]

We toe and swallow that old line[00:01:54]

Disappearing milk and cookies[00:01:56]

What about that bread and wine [00:01:58]

It's enough to make you hesitate[00:02:04]

It's enough to give you pause[00:02:07]

Perhaps it's just as crucial[00:02:11]

Kids believe in You know who[00:02:12]
