Santa said no
Santa said
No gifts for you
You’ve been bad
The whole year through
He said he kept a list
And he checked it twice
Found out I had been
Naughty
Instead of nice
I cried and begged
For just one gift
Just one present
Beneath the tree
He said no
And the fault
For that
Belonged to me
He said he delivers gifts
To those who are good
He’ll pass by my house
And not even
Think twice
All because
I was naughty
This year
Instead of
Being nice
I asked who told him
That I had been bad
I said that is untrue
Now
No gifts should they have
Someone was lying
Not telling the truth
Are you sure my name
Is not written
In your book
The book that says
Who has been naughty
Or nice
I think by mistake
My name
Was placed
On the wrong side
Could you check again?
Just one more time
I promise to be good
And not step out
Of line
I told him
I was sorry
For the bad things I did
Even though I forgot
What it was I did
That was wrong
He looked again
And said no he was right
I had been naughty
Instead of nice
So no gifts for me
Not even one
I wish Christmas
Was over
Finished
Just done
What do I have to look forward to?
you see
When I’ll have no gifts
Beneath
The tree
Others will laugh
Because they’ll know
For Christmas
I got nothing
But a lump of coal
I left this for Santa
there by the tree
hoping and praying
this letter he would see
and maybe think twice
before he left my house
and maybe feel quilty
for leaving me out
Santa said what challenge
Host
