North Pole Bank

(Continues until #END OF FINGERSTYLE# where a single-strum G will be played directly
after the fingerstyle C.)

Where will he get those toys
For all them girls and boys
What is there for Santa Clause to do
Hes feeling helpless now
The cause of many a row
These hard financial times affect him too
The elves had had enough
Less than minimum wage is tough
So saint nick had sent them on their way
With no one to assist,
Bills longer than the naughty list (#END OF FINGERSTYLE#)

How on earth would poor Santa Clause pay
E
Children all over the world, all countries, all races
F
Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces
E
None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through
F
Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U
