Santa was a hit man and he had no alibi His big red suit was drenched in blood, more vibrant than a dye See, Mrs. Clause was KGB, and the North Pole was her base And Santa was the corporate shell that really owned the place The "elves" were political prisoners (and yes, some were rather short) And the present-giving Christmas was the day Clause would report But when the Union went away, there was no need for Clauses And they ripped up the whole contract (not covered in Incidental Causes) Mrs. Clause got into drinking, and it got worse everyday 'Till it happened: she was so drunk, she keeled over in the hay They found her the next morning with a reindeer on her head Santa knew before the med report that Mrs. Clause was dead So he went back to the basics, and he hooked into Network 1 The most top secret channel where certain agents have their fun He was lost without his partner (their marriage was arranged) She had handled the business,his financial sense was left estranged He knew without her, he'd go under; have to sell the Pole to the West He needed to make the payments by doing just what he knew best Santa filled the role of assassin, killing silently with grace He laid a finger beside his nose before he shoved the gun up in your face Making the hits look unconnected, well he varied up his style In fact he was thinking of being a "serial killer" and followed that up for a little while But his stealing milk and cookies didn't clue anybody in Maybe it just wasn't plausible to blame the fat man and his grin Whatever the case, he's a random killer who strikes with impunity With a swish of his coat, he jumps roof to roof, flaunting his immunity
