We await the man in red The man wearing the curly beard He brings gifts to cheer and his time keeping is rather weird. It is a wonder he is not sick sliding down chimneys one after the other It is a good job he has a red uniform otherwise it would blow his cover. But why does he not get soot on his beard it is always gleaming snowy white surely it must scrape the filth from chimneys sliding down them on that special night? His trousers are spotless too They must be made from extra tough stuff Surely they must tear on ragged old bricks They must have old nails that's sharp and rough. and it is a wonder he is not drunk knocking back glasses and glasses of sherry it is a wonder he can see where he's going but alas it must make his day oh so merry. There are thousands that wouldn't mind that job looking after Rudolph and team, making sure they're fed Stacking the sleigh, eating mince pies, it's a tough time it is hard being that white bearded man in red.
