Dear Santa
Bob & Tom Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Sean Morey)

Dear Santa, this is Billy from Dallas
I would like a Big Wheel with air conditioning package, power steering, CD player, and also a Sony PlayStation

Dear Santa, this is Raoul from Venezuala
I want a stick
To burn for heat!

Dear Santa, this is Jessica from Aspen
I'd like a Barbie Dream House with the electric sports car and lots of outfits and matching outfits for me, too, please

Dear Santa, this is Lupe from Paraguay
I want some rain
So I can stop drinking my own urine!

Dear Santa, this is Joe from north Chicago
I want a new bike and a GI Joe with kung fu grip and grenade launcher

Dear Santa, this is Aziz from Yemen
I want a grenade launcher

Dear Santa, this is Jimmy from Greenwich
I want an electric train set with the whole village and the mountains and the tunnels, and a robot to clean my room

Dear Santa, this is Chang from Laos
I want an electric scooter, a surfboard, roller blades, and a CD-ROM player
Just kidding, I want a stick

Dear Santa, this is (gibberish) from Calcutta
I want a fly swatter
One that doesn't hurt when you hit yourself in the face, and some Off!

Dear Santa, we are the children of the world

We want Sean Morey to be struck dead, please
See what you can do, even if it means I don't get that stick
