Santa's Day Off

by Storm of Crows

about

Our highly anticipated Christmas song is here! Written, recorded, mixed, and mastered in just eight days, this song will have you rocking your socks off this Christmas (and hopefully, for many more to come). The best part, if you buy this song (PLEASE buy this song!) all of the proceeds will be donated to the helipad appeal at Sheffield Children's Hospital, in the UK.

You could buy it for yourself, send it as a gift, or if you have an enemy and you know they hate rock and roll music, why not buy it and send it to them to torture them? Handy, huh?

lyrics

Lyrics

Santa Claus, he said to Rudolph "Man I'm tired as I can be,
Stacking present after present underneath those Christmas trees"
Rudolph thought for just a moment standing by his water trough,
"What you really need, poor Santa, is to have a nice day off"

"Day off?" enquired Santa, "What is that? It sounds berserk"
"It's when you stay at home" said Rudolph, "You don't show that day for work"
"Hey man, that sounds fantastic, I know just when I will leave,
I'm gonna put up my feet. My day off this year...will be Christmas Eve"

A day off from Christmas
A day off from spreading that Christmas cheer
There's just one problem don't you know, ol' Santa?
You only work one day every year!

"Wait a minute there Santa" said Rudolph "what about the girls and boys?
How will they get their Christmas presents? We've got a million brand new toys"
"I hadn't thought of that," said Santa, "do you think it would be unkind?
But man, my dogs are barking. I'm sure just this once they won't mind"

Rudolph started to worry, all those children losing their smiles
With no trip around the world, he'd be losing those air miles
The elves would be unemployed, for no toys they'd have to make
It seems like the whole world would end if Santa took this break

A day off from Christmas
A day off from spreading that Christmas cheer
There's just one problem don't you know, ol' Santa?
You only work one day every year!

"Now listen up Santa, while a day off may make you merry,
If you decide to stay home, it'll mean no mince pies and sherry"
Santa near choked on his tea, which I forgot to mention he had,
He took one look at Rudolph and said, "Oh man, that would be so bad!"

"On the one hand, man I'm tired, and I really want to rest,
Not to mention, missing snack time, it'd help me fit in my vest
But no, can't stay away from those milk, mince pies and sweeties
After all I'll be saving the kids of the world from diabetes"

No day off from Christmas
No day off from spreading that Christmas cheer
'Cause I just can't stay away from those snacks
I'm gonna eat my fill this year

Storm of Crows is a rock band based in Sheffield and Stockport, in the UK. Originally in various bands at the end of the 1990s, we reformed during Covid lockdown in 2020 to record some of our old songs, and write a few new ones as well. We're not the best band in the world, but we're having a blast doing what what we're doing, and we think that comes across in our music. We hope you like it too. ... more
