Santa Claus Is On The Dole (Album Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Snow is lying on the ground
And in the air the sleighbell sound
The frosty-patterned window-pane
It’s British summertime again
(No it’s not, it’s Christmas!)

[Verse 2]
Yes, Christmas and those children wait
For hoof-beats on the roof
But this year’s stockings won’t be filled
There’s been a mighty goof

[Verse 3]
Yes, this year there’s no peace on Earth
Nor food and gifts abundant
For Father Christmas has been sacked
And his Gnomes are all redundant

[Chorus]
Santa Claus is on the dole
Oh, I’m UB40!
His reindeers have been sold for glue
You might as well be naughty!

Santa Claus is on the dole
Finis! Kaput! It’s curtains!
The magic sleigh’s been repossessed
The suit’s gone back to Burton’s

[Verse 4]
His elfin helper’s topped himself
Oh, how will I survive?
The grotto rent’s three months behind
And my giro’s not arrived

[Verse 5]
He’s too old to be re-employed
I’ve lost my little earner
The igloo heating’s been cut off
I’ll die of hypothermia! (Oh, oh, oh!)

[Chorus]
Santa Claus is on the dole
He’s lost his money spinner
Real fairy cake and Rudolph steak
Will be my Christmas dinner!

Santa Claus is on the dole
And things don’t look too handsome
His company is being probed by TV’s
Esther Rantzen!

[Bridge]
Santa Claus is on the dole
I’m UB40!
Santa Claus is on the dole
You might as well be naughty!
Santa Claus is on the dole
Finis! Kaput! It’s curtains!
Santa Claus is on the dole
The suit’s gone back to Burton’s! (And it’s jolly cold!)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(But never mind! Merry Christmas everybody!)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(Happy Christmas, boys and girls! Stop that, Rudolph!)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(Put that penguin down! No, not in the Christmas Tree!)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(Stupid reindeer! Why are you fairies in here?)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(Haven’t you got a gnome to go to?)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(A “gnome” to go to! You get it?)
Santa Claus is on the dole
(Easy there, Rudolph!)
