Dirty Claus Rag - Country Joe & The Fish

OK, 'Dirty Claus Rag', take 27!

The night 'fore Christmas we put up a tree,

You know it sure was a beautiful sight to see

The kids standin' round with a smile on their face

Were hangin' their stockings over the fireplace

And off to bed you know we all did race

Just a-waitin' for ol' Santa Claus.

Santa Claus, you dirty dog,

You know you done us wrong.

Woke up this morning, took a look around,

The Christmas tree was gone.

Well, come on, folks won’t you listen to me,

I’m gonna tell ya the story about my Christmas tree

This kind of thing it won’t happen no more

I’m gonna nail down the tree to the living-room floor

Wait for ol' Santa behind the door

And when he comes I’m gonna say

Santa Claus, you dirty dog,

You know you done us wrong.

Woke up this morning, took a look around,

The Christmas tree was gone.

Well, come on, folks won’t you listen to me,

I’m gonna tell ya the story about my Christmas tree

This kind of thing it won’t happen no more

I’m gonna nail down the tree to the living-room floor

Wait for ol' Santa behind the door

And when he comes I’m gonna say

Santa Claus, you dirty dog,

You know you done us wrong.

Woke up this morning, took a look around,

The Christmas tree was gone.
