Too Fat To Fit

Spoken: Advice to Santa: You've got to put those Ho-Ho's down! From now on, Ho-Ho's are No-no's!

Santa you've been munching, oh you've done a bunch of crunching,
Every breakfast, every luncheon, every dinner it's the same,
You had better cut it out and start a diet,
Or on Christmas morn, there's gonna be a riot!

'Cause you're too fat to fit down the chimney
And December 25th is on the way
Though we've cleaned the chimney flu, if old Santa can't get through,
We'll never have a Merry Christmas day!

Listen Santa won't you try to lay off the pumpkin pie,
Cut out cookies, cut out candy, and eggnog too
Santa please control yourself, yesterday you ate an elf!
So have a green salad, maybe some fish,
But please don't touch that candy dish

You're too fat to fit down the chimney
So you're gonna have to build a bigger sleigh
If you can't reduce that girth, all the children of the earth
Will be out-a their-luck when Santa gets stuck
In the chimney on Christmas day.

Little Billie's hoping for a shiny fire truck,
If it's not beneath the tree, he'll run amuck,
And Molly wants a dolly in a pretty gingham gown,
If she doesn't get it, she will rip the holly down.
If Mommy doesn't get her blender, It could send her on a bender.
Daddy simply must unwrap some after-shave or he will snap
So Santa please, the stakes are high
On Christmas Eve you've got to fly!

But you're too fat (too fat!) to fit down the chimney,
And you've got a big delivery to make,
If you can't take off some pounds, when you try to make your rounds,
You'll find you've made a terrible mistake!

Listen Santa why don't you, hit the gymn and loose a few,
Do some crunches, throw some punches, try some car-di-o,
All the reindeer say they're stunned, you're appallingly rotund,
So lighten the load and give up ?Rate,
Take off that weight for goodness sake!

'Cause you're too fat (you're huge!) to fit down the chimney,
Better leave the milk and cookies on the tray,
If you can't get down to size, then a crisis might arise,
When you're stuck in that stack and ready to crack the chimney
on Christmas day!
