|: D         E        A               B
     Once a year my friend puts on a red suit
D             E         A         B
  and hangs around with me and my wife
D            E                  F#m     -
  but lately I've been feeling jealous
 G              -            A  - :|
each time she climbs on his knee

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
why must she climb on his knee

Chorus:
D           E            A           -
  I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
D                 E                 A       -
  she kissed him once and whispered in his ear
D           E            A           -
  I saw my baby wearing Santa's beard
   Bm           -            G            -
I wish he would go - he's breaking up my home

She always had this twisted side to her
but she'd never drag my name around town
but lately she's been humming cheating songs
and I don't like that fat guy around
no I don't like that fat guy around

(Chorus)
