Called up Santa on the telephone But lordy, lord, he wasn't home His old lady she done told me Child call back after three Merry Christmas to you! I got the Christmas blues! Called up Santa on the telephone It was quarter to five They say he hung up in traffic, baby Down on Highway Fifty-Five Merry Christmas to you! I got the Christmas blues! Called up Santa on the telephone Wanna speak to the man in red He been on a three day drunk Can't get him out of bed, no Merry Christmas to you! I got the Christmas blues! Called up Santa on the telephone Mister Santa I'm sittin' jail Here it is, Christmas morning Won't you come and post my bail Merry Christmas to you! I got the Christmas blues! Well I woke up this morning Whatdya think, whatdya think I see Hey baby, isn't that Santa Claus down over there Down cell number three Merry Christmas to you! I got the Christmas blues! I called out, "Hey Santa Claus!" I could see his eyes was red He been drinking too much bourbon, little bit scotch and maybe some gin And he done and, he wrecked his sled Merry Christmas to you! I got the Christmas blues!
