Ol' Saint Nick was at the door,
Cause it was Halloween.
Candy for the knocks I couldn't ignore,
Cause it was Halloween.
And I thought to myself,
“No, there's nothing wrong here”, well,
Hold onto your beer.
(Holdin on'!)
And he gripped me by my britches!
What in the world are britches?!
(I don't know).
And he gave me a stare so deep
I almost fell!
Oh, he threw me in a stocking,
And he threw me in the sleigh,
And I never thought I'd live to see another day!
He asked me for my passport, and I said,
“Sorry, Saint Nick, I don't have a passport.”
(Rawgh!)
It was true, I didn't have a passport at the time,
And I still don't.
Oh, he kicked me hard in China,
And he threw me into Belize!
I swear, these stories are hard to believe!
(I believe you, man!)
Eventually, we made it to the Pole,
(Halloween.)
It became clear when we passed the reindeer toll,
(Halloween.)
And I never thought I'd see it,
But he slapped a smile across his face,
And for the rest of the day we talked about s-p-a-c-e.
(Woo, space!)
Vanilla yellow-
Oh, hey hey, you wanna sing?
Sure, go for it!
Vanilla yellow!
(Vanilla yellow!)
Vanilla yellow!
(Vanilla yellow!)
Vanilla yellow!
(Vanilla yellow!)
Vanilla yellow!
(Vanilla yellow!)
Vanilla [coughs]...
Record it.
Vanilla yellow!
Vanilla yellow!
Vanilla [coughs]...
Record it.
