[Verse 1]
Once a year my friend puts on a red suit
And hangs around with me and my wife
Now I can't help but feeling jealous
Each time she climbs on his knee
[Verse 2]
And she stands beneath the mistletoe screaming
For him to stand beneath the mistletoe, screaming
Now I can't help but feeling jealous
Each time she climbs on his knee
[Refrain]
Why must she climb on his knee?
[Chorus]
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
She kissed him once and whispered in his ear
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
I wish he would go, he's breaking up my home
[Verse 3]
She always had this twisted side to her
But she'd never drag my name around town
Lately she's been humming cheating songs
And I don't like that fat guy around
[Refrain]
No, I don't like that fat guy around
[Chorus]
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
She kissed him once and whispered in his ear
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
I wish he would go, he's breaking up my home
[Outro]
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
Thrilling (Thrilling) Christmas (Christmas), trembling fear
I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
I wish he would go, he's breaking up my home
