A last minute holiday track for 2020 that's sure to possibly make a future holiday playlist!

lyrics

it's December and she's oh so far away
I've got to work out how to be with her on Christmas Day
Santa, can I hitch a ride on your magic sleigh?

I remember when we weren't so far apart
now I keep her closer to me, always in my heart
Father Christmas is there room for me inside your cart?

I'd be happy to
drop a gift or two
down a chimney
you can count on me to make the assist
I'm not on your naughty list
and there's someone I've got to kiss
so help me out

here we go again - another house, another roof
I'm getting anxious, Santa - are you telling me the truth?
are you really sure that we are on the fastest route?

I agreed to help
and be the perfect elf
in hopes that you would try to get me quickly where I should be
look out for that Christmas tree!
I suspect you're toying with me
so cut it out

you dropped me off but nothing seems familiar
what are you doing with that picture of her?
you sneaky bastard, trying to take my girl away from me!

so now we've made it but it feels so very late
I see you checking out the cookies lying on her plate
come on, Santa - aren't you married?
man, give me a break!

I agreed to help
and be the perfect elf
and thanks a lot for getting me here, Santa - now you can go
I'm tired of the wind and snow
and all of your ho ho ho
so just get out
